Wow, and these go for hundreds and hundreds in Blu-ray players... Why? Seems to be 90% profit!

Yeah Blu-Ray players are actually fairly powerful, but that price for a reader isn't bad at all, so long as you have all the HDCP kit to go with it!

 

[Shane]

wow thats quite a good deal

if you want one i would snap one up ASAP before people buy them until theyre out of stock then Overclockers put the price up more.

 

[Mez]

Thats like $76 USD! Man I wish we had that sale >.>

can you not just connect a BD drive in and watch a film like you can with dvd

 

[WeatherMan]

Overclock Also sell them. As as BT Shop, Play.com etc. All similar prices. I'd like to know why these are so cheap.


EDIT: Didn't know it was just a reader, that kinds of justifies the price.

Yeah can get a blu ray burner for like $120 at NewEgg, that's only a reader

Blu ray burners would be worth the price if the price for blu ray discs weren't so much.. Can't wait for those prices to drop!
