    Hi Folks,

    Just got my new XPS 17 3D and fitted a SSD as my boot drive.

    The machine seems great an flys now so I though I would try a bluray movie, Windows does not seem to have any software that can play bluray.

    Cant find any software in the box but should my machine have come with some software to play bluray? Check the Dell site for downloads but that just has the drivers. Where can I get the application to play movies?

    Thanks!!

    smartsource.dell.com. Log in, plug in your service tag, and you have access to all the non-driver software your machine came with.
