| Posted: | | | | I'd like to see support added to allow disc ids to be scanned for Blu-Rays & HD-DVDs on pc BR/HD disc drives. There are a few demos and such out there that have no UPC. Examples: the CES DTS & Dolby Demos, I'm sure there are others as well.
Just wishful thinking I suppose... |

| Posted: | | | | I can say for sure that HD DVD is going to be done also... but I do remember that recently Ken said he got a Blue Ray drive to add it. (He could have got both... don't remember for sure)... so look for it in the next beta. | | | Pete |

I've been looking at this one myself. Not quite ready to grab it though. That is indeed quite an investment. But I don't need a dual-drive; I don't need HD DVD at all. I'll also want to have a look at what software is/will be available for Mac OS X (my operating system), since I don't want to use it within the VM only. | | | Achim [諾亞信; Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

Skip I agree. I paid quite a bit more a few months ago. But on the plus side I can report satisfactory operation on all my BD and HD except one - but I suspect a bad disc and have returned it to Amazon for replacement. I feel that I can safely recommend it if anyone is considering purchase. | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here. Advanced plugins available here. Hey, new product!!! BDPFrog. |

| Posted: | | | | You can also get a Lite-On Blu-ray SATA Drive for a $139.99 at Newegg. I've picked up one for myself last month when I built a new system and ended up getting one for the system I built for my brother as a wedding gift as well. Coupled with a high end video card that is HDCP-compliant and using PowerDVD 8 Ultra, it can seemingly handle anything. |

| Posted: | | | | I just bought this one (Shipping soon) as I have no need for a dual format, nor a burner at this point. Edit: I believe it's the same model as the one at Best Buy, but it's $149.99 at Amazon. | | | Signature banned: Reason out of date... | | | Last edited: by NewEnglander |

Len Anyone know the system requirements for this drive. I've currently got an HD-DVD drive in my PC which I plan to dump (only HD DVD disc I own is the one that came with the PC). I've got a dual core processor 6600 @ 2.4 GHz, 4 GB RAM, NVidia GeForce 7600 GT running XP Profession Media Center. I thought I read on several Blu Ray drives that I looked at, that they required Vista. Anyone install one of these on XP yet? | | | Hal |
