I don't think you'll find a free player that plays Bluray for a long time - or at least not a legal one. The format is patented so, in order to use it in a program, you must pay the owner of the patent a fee. That fee ain't cheap so you won't see freeware using it, at least not directly. It's likely that a pretty good hunk of that PowerDVD program's price is getting shunted over to the patent owner (Sony?).

Edit: Errr, of course, I could be wrong? The release notes are talking about using it with BluRay and FFDShow.
