Cannot complain at all

It just works

It does what it says on the box

 

bought it, it arrived timely, connected to laptop and it did read the blu ray. Note: Reading blu ray does not mean play blu ray movie. You need a commercial blu ray playing software to do so. Clearly, it could say so in the product description, but it...

Duff product

 

Bought this product in good faith thinking it was Sony, it's not! This product does not play blu-ray discs! I have been trying to get it to work all night and nothing is happening. Do not buy this product. I shall be asking Amazon for a refund. I have...
