Oh well, milf_hunter and m0f0 cannot watch Brokeback Mountain with these. That's why they supported HD-DVD and McCain, also because they are both red.

Not a bad price if you have a home theater PC and a video card that can handle high def video, but $90 for just a reader seems excessive.

One word: BlewRay
Bhen forgot to add the spiel about a last ditch attempt to salvage BR
Wonder where the racist mccainwillwin went?

"I just voted for the next president of the USA< John McCain!!!"
Poor white supremacists, they must be so disappointed in themselves.

anyone familiar with the pros/cons of Blu-Ray drives just now? For $90, it'd be nice on the HTPC...

Has to go for $50 or less before I'd buy it.

a definate attempt to get this blue ray stuff established, might be ok once the price drops, but who wants to bite the bullet with the early equipment pricing????

#7 is correct. I'd go $150 if it was a Burner. Read only is still a novelty at this price point, unless your computer is your media system.

I would wait a bit before getting one of these things. Waiting for price drop. You wouldn't notice much of a difference watching blu-ray movies on a small lcd monitor vs dvd.

* PowerDVD 8 Ultra
* WinDVD9 Plus BluRay

Along with 1 of the above, I also recommend the following:
