This thread is a keeper.

What?

soneman · 24-06-2007

The cheapest will cost you around £499, if you're willing to pay that much.

If you ask me. you should be paying that kind of money for a new PC. If you have to pay that kind of money for just the drive then it's not worth it if you ask me.

Antec900_2007 · 24-06-2007

Yep,your right.That's why I won't be buying a blu-ray drive.

£499 (GBP) = US$1,000, too bad for you in the UK, in the US we can find many below US$500.

- US$449 Liteon LH-2B1S 2x Blu-ray drive http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106037

Cheapest is the Pioneer BDC 202, its a bluRay reader combined with a dvd burner, aka combo drive.

Nice find _chef_,

US$270++ Pioneer BDC-202 5x Blu-ray reader http://www.google.com/products?q=Pioneer+BDC-202

*_chef_* · 25-06-2007

There is also a BDC-S version (actually 2), but I don't know the real difference yet. Maybe bulk vs. retail, because they all have DVD-RAM write support according to the info.

The BDC-202 starts at €210 here in Germany.

BDC-S02 (retail?) : http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/content/pr...ws/bdcs02.html

I dont know if CompUSA will ship internationally but they are a trust worthy retailer. If they do ship outside of the US, then you shouldn't worry

*_chef_* · 26-06-2007

They do according to their policies.

Thanks for your info!!

*ghetocowboy* · 26-06-2007
