I would like to get a Blu Ray player eventually and I'm wondering how the PS4 and Xbox One compare as a Blu Ray player to a similarly priced dedicated Blu Ray Player. I understand that you're paying for more than just a Blu Ray player when you get a PS4 or Xbox One but how do the game consoles compare to a similarly priced Blu Ray Player? I would bet that a Blu Ray player that costs more than a PS4 or Xbox One plays Blu Ray much better but how would a Blu Ray player that costs $300-$450 compare against the game console that plays Blu Ray discs? Thank you.

So I was helping my old roommate restore his Alienware X51 to factory settings the other day. While updating the drivers and checking to make sure everything was working I noticed the cd/dvd/bd drive doesn't play blu rays. I've tried finding a fix for this and even went to the Hitachi LG manufacturer site to look for a solution but found nothing. Has anyone else had this problem and if so is there a fix for it? After the problems with my M14x R2 throttling issue and now this I'm really starting to see what a worthless, money hungry, company Dell is. Now I understand why everyone laughed and made jokes that we bought Alienwares.
