This has probably been asked before, so please don't be hard on me if it has link me please because i couldn't find it, but anyway

i was wondering if there is a blueray drive to install on my computer. i have a dell xps, but i do not have it hooked up to a regular monitor, i hooked my computer up to my plasma screen tv, it has these inputs, i don't know if you need to know this or not but it has, AV, S-video,YPbPr1,YpbPr2,VGA(which is what i use to see the comps desktop right now.)HDMI1, an HDMI2. i really don't know much about this stuff i just know the basics of taking my comp apart and putting new parts in so could someone please give me some pointers.

LG offers what they call a MultiBlu drive in both burner and read only format. This drive will play both BD and HD DVD discs, but you'll want to check out what system requirements are, as standalone BD players are essentially PCs minus the keyboard.

Here's a link: LG Super Multi Blue BD Rewriter - LG Global Site

Re: blueray for comp?

All the reviews I have read for the available BD burners are
pretty lackluster.

Seems these drives are still ultra expensive and sluggish.

Personally, I will wait until prices come down on these drives
to the $300 mark and they have the ability to burn at a much
faster rate than they do now.
