    Default Internal Blu-Ray Player **Cheap!**

    90 Big ones at Newegg!

    Searched Blu-Ray, then did a sort by best rating. This one is at the top.

    Link- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106270

    Here's the link to the Newegg page with the list from Best Rating down. There are actually a few under $100.

    Oh heck yea! Only $99.99! Pretty damn nice looking too!

    When did Blu-Ray get so cheap? I must of asleep or something. lol

    Although kind of pointless for me. Yay, Netflix! ^_^
    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    Ohh... hmm I am just about to buy a full HD monitor for my computer, use it more for media so full HD all around would be a plus. As for why did it get cheap, all tech like this gets cheap after it catches on, I remember when CD burners (not even read DVD) cost this much or more.

    It's very tempting for me to buy, I need to replace my dead CD Drive, DVD Drive works great, but would be nice to have Blu Ray. But only $10 off so I'll just wait and see how my new monitor looks and if I'll use that for movies instead of my TV..

    Be careful when buying the bd players for Pc's. The software coding for them sucks still. Cyberpower and Nero are still trying to catch up to the tech. At least thats what Ive read.

    Is it the burning that sucks or the reading? I would love to get one but probably wouldn't use it for anything other than watching a bluray or two on my pc.

    I tried to find the reviews I read on Newegg and they were either gone or out dated. The problem seems to mostly be the fact that not all Video cards are HDCP compliant. What does this mean to most folks? It means that to get that 100.00 bluray player to work you also need to spend a minimum of 100+ or more on a video card.

    Ah crap i forgot about that. So i would need a blu ray drive, a new graphics card most likely, and probably a new monitor? I hate DRM so much right now lol.

    I'm almost positive that my new monitor isn't HDCP compliant since we tried it with my buddies hdmi->dvi conversion cable on his ps3 and it wouldn't recognize my monitor. The sad thing is i just got the thing a few months ago. You would think they wouldn't want to screw consumers like that.
