   While building myself a computer recently, I decided to install a Blu-Ray drive. I decided to go with Sony because of the amazing Blu-Ray output quality I have seen from my PS3. The BDU-X10S is a fantastic player; the biggest turn-on for me was the reasonable cost of the player. It does everything upscale home theater Blu-Ray players can do, but for much less. I am running this player on Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, and as with all Vistas, the media player does not read Blu-Ray. You will have to download software in order to view Blu-Ray discs; I am using WinDVD 9 ($99), and the setup has turned out to be phenomenal. If you are looking for a Blu-Ray player for your PC, the Sony BDU-X10S is the way to go.

   Pros: awesome 1080p resolution we have come to expect from Sony, easy installation, reasonably priced, good warranty.
   Cons: software required in order to view Blu-Ray movies.

   Great Package
   Before buying this product I did my research and found a tool from cyberlink that determines whether you can play blu-ray discs according to your hardware and software equipment…

   Great Blu-ray Drive- Bad Software
   Ok to start off, the blu-ray drive is a quality product that works flawlessly and is great for the price now.

   This is an excellent Blu-ray drive – it installs easily, and the video is spectacular. Obviously your system needs to meet the minimum requirements, which you can view by zooming into the image of the box provided by Amazon (right side of image). When you’re using the included CyberLink PowerDVD BD software, make sure that you have “Use SPDIF” selected (in the audio tab in the configuration window) to get full digital audio through an SPDIF connection. If you select the number of speakers you have (e.g. 6 speakers for a 5.1 setup), you’ll get 2-channel audio output to your speakers.

   Have fun getting this to work consistently
   Save yourself the pain. Just buy a normal blu-ray player separate from your computer. Sometimes I could get the blu-ray player to work great.

   I’ve watched five Blu-ray movies using this drive so far. Everything works fine. I also used it to watch a couple of DVDs. Those work fine too. The PowerDVD software that comes with the drive is pretty good. It does what it supposed to do without crashing in the middle of movies, so I’m happy with it. My Intel Q6600 Core 2 Quad processor (5.9 subscore for processor on the Windows Experience Index) stays at about 25% utilization while playing Blu-ray movies. The video quality is totally satisfactory with my Gigabyte GeForce 8600GT graphics card (5.9 subscore for graphics and 5.6 subscore for gaming graphics). I was expecting the improved video quality over DVD, but I was not expecting the improved audio quality. Blu-ray sounds really good. The drive comes with a sample disc with a bunch of Blu-ray content on it for testing your drive. It is rare for me to be totally satisfied with a product, but with this one, I am. It does what it is supposed to do well. If you want to watch Blu-ray movies on your PC, this is an excellent drive for it.

   Great when it works, and needs upgrade for 5.1 sound
   I didn’t expect much given the price of this drive, so I haven’t been all that disappointed, but it has given me some headaches.

    Great Product-poor software
    The player is VERY easy to install and works beautifully. The software however is not very good and took a few days to troubleshoot but now works without a problem

    Works great, solid quality
    When it comes to internal drives and expansion cards, each user’s experience can vary widely depending on the system they are working with.

    Solid brand-name Blu-Ray (BD-ROM) drive, painful setup
    Installing the drive was a snap, SONY includes all needed cables and even an replacement faceplate which I had to use in order to get this player in my Gateway desktop case…
