Ok to start off, the blu-ray drive is a quality product that works flawlessly and is great for the price now. I have a 22" widescreen monitor that can support and display HD quality as well as a decent quality graphics card (Nvidia 9400GT 1GB). I try to make my computer as much as a media center as I possibly can so it is no surprise that I wanted a blu-ray player for it.
To all those who bought this product and gave it a lower rating than usual due to its inability to play blu-ray DVDs especially the newer ones: this is not as much as a hardware problem as it is software. YES, it has a HORRIBLE software and drivers for it and YES the updates are completely useless. For this problem I recommend getting Cyberlink Power DVD 9 Ultra Edition. The one that is given to people I think is PowerDvd 6 which is a horrible version with a lot of bugs and no real helpful updates. To actually buy the Cyberlink Power DVD 9 would cost you maybe $80 or more. Instead, and I am not advocating for this in any way and not responsible for any repercussions that come from it but...*cough* torrents *cough**cough*. With it, you can download the entire Power Dvd 9 Ultra Edition in maybe 2-3 hours or less depending on your connection and have you watching movies afterward in a few minutes.
Bottom line is that if you want to purchase this blu-ray drive, you WILL HAVE to get better software....legally or illegally or it will cost you another $70-$80 easily. Hope this review helped.

Save yourself the pain. Just buy a normal blu-ray player separate from your computer. Sometimes I could get the blu-ray player to work great. But often I'm re-installing drivers to get it running everytime Vista (64 bit ultimate) has a significant update. Currently I can't get it running after updating my Soundblaster audio card. Sometimes the blu-ray won't recognize a disc (however after a few restarts it might), or sometimes it will play but there will be no sound. Or sometimes, like now, I can't get it to work despite having re-installed and updating the blu-ray driver as well as the Cyber-link blu-ray player program. So I give up - I'm going to buy a normal blu-ray player.

I didn't expect much given the price of this drive, so I haven't been all that disappointed, but it has given me some headaches.
Firstly, it's not clear at first that although you CAN get digital sound through SPDIF with the included PowerDVD software, it is ONLY 2 Channel (Stereo / Prologic) digital sound. To get 5.1 digital sound, you need to upgrade to the full version of PowerDVD (which I did). One caveat to this, I did get 5.1 sound at first with the demo disk - either that's because it was the demo disk or because at first you get a trial period with 5.1 sound, I don't know, but when I played a rented disk a while later, I only got 2 channel sound until I upgraded. (It actually says "2 CH Version" or something like that in the info window of PowerDVD when running).
Secondly, and more frustratingly, the BIOS on my motherboard sometimes recognises the Bluray drive, and sometimes it does not (firmware of both drive and chipset upgraded). If it does not recognise it, bootup pauses for a while then carries on without it, as though it's just not there. I've done some research and found this seems to be specific to Intel I/O chipsets (which I have on my board). I am planning to swap the drive into an AMD machine to see if that fixes the problem.
Thirdly, HDCP is a real pain for swapping between displays. I have the PC hooked up to a 42" plasma as well as an HD projector via HDMI, but HDCP will not allow you to run cloned displays when playing a Bluray disk. So I have to manually disable one display before watching a movie, then remember to enable it again after the movie.
When everything works, the drive is great - amazing picture, excellent sound.
But all in all, given the price to upgrade to the full version of PowerDVD, the hassles getting the BIOS to see the drive, and the aggravation of HDCP and switching external displays through control panels, next time around I think I'd just buy a standalone player.
