    "Horrible service, broken program"

    May 1, 2012  |   By Basroil

    Pros

    Plays Bluray disks created before 2012

    Cons

    This program's ability to play Bluray files is limited by the availability of software updates Cyberlink is willing to give, generally 18 months or less. If you buy this software, you will not be able to play Bluray disks made after 2014, and be forced to fork over another $100 for the new edition.

    Summary

    Of the current options for Bluray playback, this may be the best, but it is closer to the choice between having terminal cancer or dying right now. Considering the cost of the program and limited use, you are better off just buying a standalone Bluray player, or simply ignoring DMCA and getting rid of AACS. Considering the second is an illegal act, just get the standalone Bluray player.

    Do not waste you money on them, they don't even have phone support (costs $30).
