I almost missed this. ArcSoft have released a new version of their excellent Blu-Ray (and HD-DVD) play back software. I thoroughly recommend heading over to the MissingRemote to read their excellent first-look review.

It looks like ArcSoft have made some pretty good improvements to the in Media Center environment including a new zoom feature and integration of the 3D controls. From experience I suspect there may be a few patches out for the initial version as ArcSoft do constantly improve new products. I would definitely note the issues around folder playback that MissingRemote mentions but read the comments as there is already an initial workround.

There is an upgrade path for existing users but the price seems a little steep at $50.

UPDATE: Forgot to include the product link http://www.arcsoft.com/estore/software_title.asp?ProductCode=TMT5P
