too bad you'll have to get a good system to run blu ray well and highest settings
That, and you'll have to buy separate software if you want more than stereo sound.
On the other hand, it would be dumb to build a new system without blu ray capability at this price.
Having to buy the software sucks. Just goes to show that the DMCA and DRM in general is just a bunch of words made up to charge extra or take away existing rights.
Yeah, the price is great but standalone BR players were recently on sale for $150. So if you have already home theater system, standalone BR player may be better choice for you. Somehow I can't imaging looking at high-def movie on a computer screen that's about 1.5ft in the front of me.
just ordered one of these for HTPC
Blue Ray seems like a waste. With a good PC hooked up to a nice HD TV u can get some serious quality. Thats we do and it seems like upgrading to a blue ray player would be silly. But, thats just us.
I got the 104-08 from newegg during BF, I will be hooking it up to my HTPC, so I won't be 1.5 ft from the computer screen, but a good 6-8 feet from my 42" HDTV.
I did the same #7, it was only $50 with free shipping... no rebate junk. Mine is hooked up to a 7' screen (projector) so it should work fine for that, no squinting needed!
I agree with #7 and #8.
also for $50.
It seems like reviews on iHOS104-08 is better than iHOS104-06.
Amazon was selling this (iHOS104-0
ah the low low resolution of HD. 2560X1600 is where it's at.
needed for ripping, etc...
is this blu ray any good? what's the difference between 4x and 8x blu ray roms? 8x is much expensive than 4x.. I might consider getting one for my htpc build.
These are getting cheaper every day.
Cyberlink PowerDvd 9.0 will works nice on this, Belive me..
Most come's with 8.0
