Default LITE-ON DH-401S 4x BLU-RAY COMPUTER DRIVE FOR ONLY $199.99 LIST PRICE

The Pioneer 5X Blu-RAY read only computer drive with DVD and CD writing capabilities use to be the cheapest way to play BLU-RAY discs on ones computer. Now Lite-on is going to release soon a 4X internal BLU-RAY ROM drive for a list price of $199.99 and with a street price around $164 according to a reliable source of mine. The model number of the new Lite-on brand drive is DH-401S. It is not as good of quality as the Pioneer drive but for a $100 less in price some people will want it. Since BLU-RAY drives are under $200 for PC’s now with the launch of this new drive perhaps many PC owners will start watching BLU-RAY movies on 1080P HDCP compatible computer monitors.
Pioneer BDC-2202B (black) List price $299.99 (mail order street price around $251)
Pioneer BDC-2202A (Beige) List price $299.99 (mail order street price around $251)
LITE-ON DH-401S List price $199.99 (mail order street price will be around $164). (4X internal BLU-RAY ROM)

Here is a link to one of the best video cards one can purchase to watch HDTV movies on a PC. The card has 2 DVI HDCP outputs with a DVI to HDMI adapter and is fully compatible with BLU-RAY and HD-DVD media. The price is $499.99 which is a good deal since this is the cheapest card on the market with 1GB of memory. Most video cards with 1GB of memory run $1500-$2700 dollars.
