For those of you keeping tabs on me, my march to Blu-ray technology has been punctuated by foot-dragging, pole grabbing, and anything else that could keep me from going there. After all, I’m the guy with the three Beta VCRs and the two Laser Disc players.
But after breaking down and buying a Blu-ray player at a Radio Shack (it wasn’t incredibly badly named “The Shack” as of then) sale, I went looking for an internal Blu-ray drive for one of my PCs.
I found Plextor’s PX-B320SA Combo drive. It’s a Blu-ray player and DVD/CD writer all in one. According to Plextor: “The PX-B320SA incorporates a host of features including PlexERASE, PlexUTILITIES, LightScribe technology, and more. It reads BD-ROM media at 8X, DVD±R media at 16X, and CD-R/RW/ROM at 32X, making it the best Blu-ray Disc reader and DVD writer in the market.” Better still, it was bundled with CyberLink’s TrueTheater HD technology –which is what gives it dominion over the world of Blu-ray on your PC.
