I now see that Dell have dropped blueray as an option on their xps range (UK not usa) and was wondering if anybody knows how easy it is to install internally yourself??

Do you know what player the dell uses and do i need to worry about installing firmware etc??

Also i see the panasonic drive getting good reports on here so are their any links for uk based companies who can supply them....

I am currently asking dell to take my laptop back and install blueray but am having difficulty and am waiting for an answer...

Has anybody had issues playing blueray films on the xps laptop?

thanks guys

the panasonic drive you are talking about are actually the same that they use normally in XPS. Should be compatible. Best is to search ebay and get one there, that is if you're experienced computer user. Mind that (it depends on manufacturer) you will lose your warranty
