ASUS slim external 6X blu-ray burner at both Amazon and Newegg for $109.99
with a $20 rebate to lower the cost to $89.99. Most people will not have to
pay tax at one of the two sites. This drive will burn both blu-ray discs and
DVDs. It's $10 more than the AR price in November, but seems like a good
deal if you missed that deal. The biggest con about this blu-ray burner is
that it does not come with blu-ray viewing software. Reviewers on Amazon and
Newegg suggest getting getting the free blu-ray viewing software from Link: http://www.digiarty.com/
or downloading software from ASUS's support site for a different blu-ray
drive that includes viewing software.
