Looking for a Blu-ray player for my computer to play movies only so it doesn't need a burner at all. I know I'll probably have to purchase PowerDVD to get it to play properly which is fine. Not looking for a set-top player at all. Even if it didn't burn DVD's at all I'd be fine cus I already have a fast DVD burner but seems they're all combo drives

Maybe something like this:

I just purchased this one:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827136162

It is Retail, which means it comes with a copy of powerDVD. No need to purchase seperately. I wanted the combo part so I wouldn't need more than one drive in my HTPC, and it was the cheapest/best option.

Liteon makes a cheaper product that isn't a combo drive, however it isn't in stock atm. Supposed to be there in about a week.

Just make sure you get the retail version so you get the DVD software unless you know of a place to get it for less than $10.

Oh nice. That's a much better price than the Plextor. I just signed up for the auto-notify on the non-combo drive. and it's retail so it comes with PowerDVD. Thanks a lot.
