Plextor makes such quality drives that i'm tempted by theirs as by the pioneer.

Yes. In the quality line they have no match!

I'm waiting for ASUS to release one first.

Hoping to see one before 2008 (which is my next PC purchase)

I wonder if they'll allow speeds greater then 2x, when you upgrade the firmware...

phloyd · 09-25-2006, 06:26 PM

I voted for Panasonic or Sony since I will be getting one or the other (or maybe both!

).

Dave · 10-13-2006, 08:58 AM

Finaly there is the Sony BD Drive in my country (Bulgaria)!
I hope i can collect the money to get it soon!

Jon_J · 10-14-2006, 04:49 AM

I voted for Panasonic because of DL capability.
I'm not that interested in the whole movie aspect, I'll use it for data storage.

I'm actually leaning towards the $600 Lite On SATA drive on Newegg

Dave · 01-30-2007, 04:47 PM

OK people. I lost the count.
There are many other Blu-ray drives now... i will try to add them too but they are too many

Should i add the Blu-ray PCs and Laptops too?

Alienware, MAC and Dell all ship Blu-ray computers now

It plays BD great!

Took the words out of my mouth. As soon as I figured out how to configure WinDVD for BD to play Region A (Yes I had some trouble) formats, it's been nothing but awesome. I own the VGNAR290G model, and don't regret my purchase one bit.

I can lie in bed and watch movies in HD. WOOT!
