I think you'll find that you'll need some dedicated software to playback Blu-Ray discs - Some drives ship with a copy of Cyberlink PowerDVD which supports Blu-Ray so watch out for a drive which bundles the software as it's probably the easiest way to get what you need. I can probably sort you something out if you desperately need some software though. :) I would almost certainly wager it is, but before jumping on the Blu-Ray bandwagon check that your monitor is HDCP compliant - You won't be able to play back Blu-Ray media over a digital video connection if it isn't.
