anyone have a bluray burner?

Just bought my first bluray player and its awesome.

Now I need a BluRay burner. Anyone have any suggestions for a good one thats affordable?

 

I do not, but I would really recommend looking on NewEgg. Is it for desktop or laptop, Dave?

 

going to be for a desktop system, though if there are affordable firewire/eSATA bluray drives available I'd be open to one of them

 

Definitely look on NewEgg.

Don't like the idea of firewire powered devices when it comes to digital data.

 

Ended up going with:Newegg.com - LG Black 8X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD+R 5X DVD-RAM 6X BD-ROM 2MB Cache 8X Blu-ray Burner - Bulk Model WH08LS20K - Blu-Ray Burners

Now I shouldn't need 54923 DVD's to take a decent backup

 

Sweet stuff, LG makes fine burners. Let me know how it turns out for you.

 

I was thinking about that one, too.

I can't decide if I want to just get a reader for now and upgrade to a burner later on cause right now I just want to make screencaps of certain movies.

I didn't even think of the backup aspect. :o

 

I would have went for a liteon drive as I understand that they use plextor components in their drives which are very solid. All I buy rom wise is plextor and liteon.

 

Thanks!

If that's true, then it's good to know because I know Plextor has a very good reputation (although they charge for it, too).

 

This model just jumped from $179 to $129...

 

Plextor, Liteon, and LG are all great. Sony and Phillips drives are troublesome.
