Does it also play Blu-ray discs?

I don't have any Blu-Ray discs and cannot find any reference whether or not this computer will play them. I assume that it does not.

I have not tried. But I don't think it does. If it did they would be really proud of it and post that as a stat everywhere.

The answer to both would be yes. I don't think I've ever heard of a Blu-ray player that won't play DVD's as well.

Yes you can play Blu-ray movies. You need to buy a software program to play the movies. Yes it's a combo drive and will do DVDs and CDs.The Blu-Ray program I found that works best on my Windows 7 is from IDeer.

It doesn't appear to be able to with the software provided. You probably can get it to play if you purchase something like Arcsoft's total media player software, another $60 or so. I gave up after downloading few freeware programs and it still wouldn't play commerial Blu-ray discs & returned the player, as the item's decriptions never mentioned that problem beforehand.

Yes, it has a DVD/CDR/CDRW/DVDRW combo drive. That means it can play dvds, cds, as well as burn them.

Yes. It will play CDs. Optical drives like this Samsung are ALL backward compatible to older disc formats. If it plays Bluray, it will play DVD and if it plays DVD, it will play CD.**Because they still build all Bluray (blue laser) optical drives with DVD/CD (red lasers) as well

I have played with a third party software, Blu ray movies. So it should also play DVD movies too.

No, it plays only CDs, but it plays them very well. I would highly recommend this!

It is supposed to but mine never did play blu-ray discs from other countries.

Yes, it does but Windows has programs built-in that will play them. The LG Blu-Ray player is much better and their technical support is much, much better than ASUS!!!

Unfortunately it doesn't. I'm in Afghanistan so I didn't buy it for Blu-ray Discs.

No, it does not play DVD or Blu-Ray movies, nor does it play audio CD's. It will only run Wii U and Wii software (including titles downloaded from eShop and virtual console).

Yes, it plays regular DVDs just fine, Though I have lots of issues with this model when it comes to playing Blue-rays. I would recommend a different player.

Sorry, I really don't know. I bought mine to play Blu-ray disks only. The remote has a button for a couple of on line services, but I don't use them. Hope your question hit someone who does use these feature and you get an answer.

No, it plays Blu-ray but burns DVD and CD's. You would need to purchase an external Blu-ray burner that connects to USB.

I'm not sure because it says in the box that it only cleans CD drives and DVD players. It never mentioned Blu-Ray players. If others say that it does clean Blu-Ray players then you can purchase it, but I suggest that you find something that says it can clean Blu-Ray players just to be on the safe side.

I've tried the Blu-ray and it didn't work, so no it doesn't play blu-ray discs. It does play regular DVD's and I LOVE the quality of the playback; the screen quality is really good I think.
