My plan is to be able to play the backup in my PS3. Any advice much appreciated!
As far as PC drives go, the LG GGW-H20L gets the best reputation, by far, on this board. nekrosoft13, myself, and a few others here have one. If you do a search, you'll find guides here that will tell you how to rip Blu-ray to your hard drive (from a PC drive) using BackUpBluRay or AnyDVD HD, then burn to ImgBurn v2.4.0.0 (free) or Nero 8.

mwave.com, maybe frys.com, bestbuy.com, and meritline.com all have the LG GGW-H20L for under $400.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and blanks are expensive. Good luck finding one for under $12.
