Recommend a blu-ray burner

[Bandit1]

Now that AMD 6x series appears onboard for some 3d action,i want to get started with purchase of a internal pc blue-ray player/burner.I am not concerned with cost.I'd love to hear some brand/model# advice and any personal experience you have with such hardware and burn media would be appreciated.

I have this Lite-ON iHOS104-08 and have been pleased with it. The -06 model looks to be the OEM version of the same thing, so I'd probably get that today. It's only a reader though, I think the burners are still too expensive and somewhat pointless given the cheapness of flash/hdd/online backup.

Thanks for input mfenn.I have chosen the liteon burner as it seems to best meet my needs and hopes of the future.Strong reviews.Like any other fresh tech,i expect to pay a bit for it. I went this one,http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106346
,and bd-r 25 pack.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817607025

Dvdfab should go nicely with it,which i already own.

Wow, BD-Rs have really come down in price since the last time that I looked!

Just a quick review.Very pleased with this entire combination.The included software is an option limited functional copy of cyberlink powerdvd 9 for blu-ray viewing.:thumbsup:

The latest firmware for liteon iHBS 112 2 was not to be found on the liteon website anywhere,but it is findable.

Dvdfab blu-ray copy has me 7 for 7 perfect backups.

Dvdfab blu-ray copy has me 7 for 7 perfect backups.The only anomaly i find is that some of my blu-ray movies have no mouse support,therefore unplayable in their present form on a pc without modification.

You can use the On-screen remote of the PowerDVD software to get around this.
