Well, 6 months ago I bought an internal LG HD-DVD BlueRay for $183 and it cr@p out on me. Won't play any new BlueRay title (watch about 3-5 older BR tittle). I still watches regular DVD and burn them fine but still a lot of people not just myself have the same problem with any kind of BR player. I heard these BR player is coded and if the company refuse to release new firmware it's pretty much trash. Buy BR player from their source like Sony player so they update their firmware and driver more often. I would wait by the end of the year to see if BR player still have that problem.
