I've got the LG HD DVD/Blu-ray combo drive and like bomber317 I've have it hook up with the HDMI dongle on my 4870 graphics card. However there conditions must be met before you can play blu-ray on your computer.

1) You must be runing Windows Vista or newer, Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows XP do not support blu-ray.

2) You must have a software media player that supports blu-ray(my combo drive came with Powerdvd Ultra 7).

3) If you using a digital input (DVI-D and HDMI) then your graphics card as well as any television/monitor connected to your graphics card must be HDCP compliant, otherwise you must connect your television/monitor using an analog connection(VGA or component out).
