Blu Ray Burner

Danja · Nov 19, 2010

Hello,

I'm thinking of picking up a blu ray burner over black friday. I'm wondering what price range would be considered a deal by black friday stanards. Tiger Direct offered the following in its daily email:

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5279699&Sku=P725-3602

Is this a good deal? Am I likely to find a better price if I wait until black friday?

Thanks,

Dan

Personally, I'd wait to find one for $100. There've been a couple deals on the LG 10x ones for $99, one was on Newegg last month, then another a couple weeks ago on... Mwave, I think? There's probably going to be more deals like that popping up here and there, if you keep your eyes out.

Here is the LG your talking about:

They are even throwing in some blue and red 3d glasses and software
I'm considering this drive as well

read the reviews at that link, several people say that it will not read region codes, meaning that it will not play movies from Any region.

I am interested in purchasing a blue-ray burner/player, and that is enough to keep me from choosing that one.

There are a lot of reviews that say they do play movies though... Do not all blu rays have region codes, or is there a chance Newegg fed someone an RMA disguised as a new product?

Update: I just installed the aforementioned LG burner. I don't have any media to burn with but when I installed it had 5 region code changes left. I used one and put in my "I Am Legend" blu ray disk (the only one I have) and it played back flawlessly. I will hopefully have a chance to try it with newer disks in the coming weeks but so far, so good. It's nice that it comes with Cyberlink. Also, the 3D glasses are kewl

.

Other than the fact that the drive tray looks and feels like it would snap in half if you blew on it too hard, I'd say the drive is great and well worth the $80 I spent on it.
