looks pretty decent for the price. But why get just a blue-ray drive when you can use this an "excuse" to get a PS3 :D

Good excuse to buy a new toy if your into consoles. My HTPC is setup to be wife-friendly so to watch a blu-ray you just put the disk in the drive and it starts playing. It all depends where your priorities lie.
