Question Blu Ray player which will play to a laptop?

[Jules33]

I have a Retina Mac Book Pro laptop which doesn't have DVD / Blu Ray drive.

I'm looking for a Blu Ray player which would normally be used with our hmdi tv.

But I would also like to be able to watch Blu Rays on my laptop.

Does such a device exist, if so what features terms am I looking for? Also a link would be nice.

I know I could play discs from another computer but we'd prefer not to do this, for various reasons I'll not go in to.

Thanks

You can buy a cheap external BD drive for the laptop and a separate BD player for the tv. It'll save you constantly connecting/disconnecting.

I was hoping I could do this over wifi.

You won't find a BD player than can just wirelessly stream playback to another device, your best option is just an external drive which can be had for £20

How about this ?

Sony BDP-S5100 3D Blu-ray Disc Player with Wireless Wi-Fi & Remote Control

It has wifi, you can't stream with it.

It has wifi so you can stream content from your PC to it, not the other way around.

According to Apple
Apple (United Kingdom) - MacBook Pro with Retina display - Features
the latest Mac Pro has an HDMI port. Why can you not use this to stream from
a BDP ?

My BDP has a Blu-ray drive...does this mean I can play PS4 games on my BDP?

ummm...Sorry, should have engaged brain before replying!
Perhaps best to buy a cheap BD reading drive on Amazon and use something like Aiseesoft
to render the BD movie onto the Mac. See
