A friend of mine is looking to buy a blu ray drive for his PC and was looking at http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-optical-drive-bw12b1stblkgas

 

I'm under the impression that this doesn't come with software to play back blu ray discs though.

 

What inexpensive or free options are there out there that will play blu rays for him?

VLC media player should work.

I imagine VLC could do it, not sure though. i dont think there is any really special software for it, but again i could be wrong

 The Wannabe is no longer. Replaced by the Flotilla. If you replace every part of a computer is it still the same computer?

Just did a quick search for blu ray on VLCs site and it seems it has issues playing them.  https://forum.videolan.org/search.php?keywords=blu+ray&sid=ffd50b43ccd7b5773b936c59d2f1d489
