just out of my curiosity..may be a silly question..i haven't even see an blu-ray disc yet..If the purpose is only reading blu-ray discs then isn't LG 22X SATA drive(around Rs.800) enough?

After looking at the price, i'm sure you are talking about DVD R/W.

Simple Anser "No", you can't read a DVD with a CD Burner, but with a DVD Combo or R/W, same way you can't read a BD with just DVD Combo or R/W.

are you really sure? the link i gave from lg.com mentions below as its features..

Supportable Formats : CD-R/RW, DVD-R / -R DL / -RW / +R / +R DL / +RW/RAM /BD RE / R read and write compatible

i guess BD RE is something related to Blu ray..

The link whatever given by you, can only read or write DVD & CD's not BD.

Moreover no shop or Online stores will sell Blue Ray drives for 800. So its clear.

Where's my M4A1
First of all GET FSP Saga II 500 W - 2K
Then either Sapphire or HIS 5670 approx 5.5k
And dont go for LG drives i have a very bad experience with then.
Go for samsung.
Samsung is good.

I heard the best Bluray drive for the money is a PS3.

PS3 can handle bluray's, but only for reading it not for writing data into it.

I seriously doubt that a PS3 can read self burn movies from it.
I hope you can understand the difference between PS3 & PC.

Hi GTCDON,

In order to run Blu-Ray, you need the below:

1. HD LCD Monitor with HDMI Slot
2. Video Graphic Card with Hardware acceleration
3. HDMI Cable
4. 5.1/7.1 Speaker
5. Sound Card
6. Min. 650 Watts SMPS
7. Cabinet with two fans

Regards

Shibu
