but what about a bluray player drive is it just a pc like toshibas or i s a blu ray play i peace of hard ware that u can`t replace the ram with or upgrade its cpu or add a hard drive?

Unsure about the Samasung, but the Panasonic looks very similar to a conventional DVD drive. I would expect that the new Toshiba players will look somewhat similar to a normal DVD player as well.

umm, the player really can't be upgraded.

you could try, but you most likely will be met with failure.

The current Panasonic is like your $15 DVD player - only with "special" (read expensive) IC's - the outside of the IC's look like any other DVD players IC's (inside much smarter). The inside does not resemble a computer as in the first Toshiba's. I'm unsure of the other brands but I assume will be similar to the Panasonic. There some recorders available in Japan with HDD etc (I would assume with maybe a firmware upgrade) you maybe able to put a bigger HDD in it. However BEWARE of upgrading firmware, Blu Ray has some pretty nasty weapons against such activities (if they wish to enforce them)
