Great drive Aug 02, 2008
The drive installed without a hitch in my Dell XPS 410 HTPC. I did however need to purchase an HTPC capable video card in order to use it. Once I had the proper card installed the BD drive has been trouble free. NO need for a separate stand alone player with one of these! Get yourself a BD drive and a excellent video card . If your video card doesn't have true HDMI output. Make sure your audio card or motherboard has SPDIF output. This way you can still enjoy digital sound.

Works great included software is only partially featured Jun 29, 2008
Works great as a blu-ray device for watching movies. The power dvd software that comes with it only outputs in stereo and does not integrate into windows media center which is really too bad. Media Center Integration is something that all these blu-ray drives should do. I thought all the HDCP stuff in windows vista would make that possible.

Great Blu Ray Player at reasonable price Jun 14, 2008
I was blown away with the picture when I hooked my computer up to my 27" 720p TV. Even at 720p, the picture is great. The upconversion from a regular DVD was impressive also. I also own a HD-DVD player, and I think this blu-ray player might be better. Using a Geforce 8600GT 256mb, I had no picture studder whatsoever. If you don't want to spend $400 on a blu-ray player, this is a great alternative. The only downside is the software it comes with (PowerDVD) is only 2 Channel. They want $85 for 5.1/7.1ch, which is a totally ridiculous price. I'll wait awhile until price drops. I highly recommend this blu-ray drive. I think SONY has the best technology for it.

My computer specs: Accer Aspire AMD Athlon 64x2 4400, Gefore 256MB 8600GT XXX, 4GB Ram, 430Watt Power supply
Note: You can find free software online that will allow you to use any video card to play blue rays.

Sony BDUX10S very disappointing Jun 13, 2008
The Sony BDUX10S Blu-Ray drive was intermittently recognized by my system. Sometimes I would have to boot the PC two or three times before the BIOS would recognize the drive. Sometimes it would cause the PC to hang and not boot into Windows at all.

I tried the drive in a second PC, and had the exact same experience. Was it a defective drive or a design problem? I don't know, but I returned the drive for a refund (no exchanges were permitted). I am going to try a Pioneer BD drive next.

great product Jun 07, 2008
Easy to install and a cheap way to play blu-ray movies (provided you already have a decent computer/graphics card). Software provided plays all of the blu-rays i have tried so far. A blu-ray of Sony trailers etc. came with the drive which was a nice way to make sure the drive/software was working properly. A great product.
