Shhhh. Now everyone will use it. :( Haha, just kidding, but I really do hate the people who dismiss MPC-HC because "it doesn't work". It's one of the most stable playback programs, however, only with the proper codecs installed.

(Yes, this is a totally superfluous post solely designed to get my post count up)
"Blu-ray" discs are played either on my PC or more likely with my Sony BDP-360 on the 42" 1080p TV in my sleeping quarters. As for files, I also have a WD TV HD Media Player which I use in conjunction with an HP SimpleSave ext. hd to watch on the TV.
The Onkyo HT-S6200, 7:1 HTIB, brings the Blu-ray to life nicely, on a budget.
one more to try
TotalMedia Theatre 3 Platinum
for full blurays i'm still using PowerDVD Ultra Deluxe v7.3.3319, works perfectly (i believe it's the latest version that can play bdmv structure without having to build .iso images).
actually playing full blurays it's the easiest thing to do cause the content is pretty much standart, unlikely matroska stuff, tv captures etc. that can be very specific..
the key points for me - dxva & spdif pass-through. until latest builds, as example, mpc-hc couldn't extract core from dts-hd (at least, for me)
I think that ffdshow's latest update support dts-hd and dolbt true-hd bitstreaming at least for ati 5xxx or asus xonar. And with the new option of automatic refresh rate change, mpc-hc is hard to beat as a movie player
