Default Pioneer BDR-202, Vista Media Center

Hi;

I'm planning on buying a Pioneer BDR-202 to add to my Vista Media Center PC. The Media Center PC is a Shuttle XPS (http://us.shuttle.com/ConfigurePacka...ge=SYG5-3300-M) with Core 2 Duo 2.13Mgz Processor, Intel GMA 3100 video with HDMI at 1080p and 2 GB of memory. I use the machine only as a Media Center PC attached to a Samsung LNT-5271F LCD via HDMI 1.3a. I'm buying the BDR-202 Blu-ray drive to replace my current DVD drive. The only reason I want a Blu-ray drive in this machine is to watch commercially available Blu-Ray disks. Outside of buying the Pioneer drive, what else will I need to get Vista Media Center to play any commercial blu-ray movie? Do I need another version of Nvida PureVideoHD Codecs? Do I need something like WinDVD BD? or is it just plug and pray?

Thanks for any advice.

Sang
