If you've got a PC that's up to the challenge, Sony's got an internal Serial ATA Blu-ray drive that will do the trick for less than any standalone player. The BDU-X10S drive will cost US$199.99 when Sony starts shipping it next month. This BD-ROM (that's read, not write) drive comes bundled with CyberLink PowerDVD BD Edition for playing Blu-ray discs in MPEG-2 or H.264 format. It'll also play DVDs and CDs and will work with XP and Vista PCs.

      Sony's slimline DRX-S70U drive is quite appealing for travellers or those with dud notebook drives -- as long as you've got space for the AC adaptor.

      If your laptop doesn't have an optical drive or you need to replace your dud internal one, LG's latest offering is well worth the money.

      Pioneer's drive and bundle is excellent, but also expensive and clearly an early adopter's product.

      The Plextor PX-810SA internal CD/DVD burner is quick for both ripping and burning. We like it.
