[QUOTE="gbyleveldt, post: 50503, member: 122"] Heh, Alan, it's not gonna be as easy as that. You can buy a Blu Ray drive for your PC. I got one for mine. I paid about R1400 odd for it. You even get external ones that, I assume, will use USB connectivity - but these are more pricey. I doubt, however, that you can just plug this drive into your Medi8er and it'll play like a Blu-Ray player. There's the whole issue around HDCP and I remember that the Medi8er cannot play content that is protected (ie the video on a Blu Ray disk). You will have to rip this info off a Blu Ray disk to your PC, after you by-passed the copy protection scheme, to play it with your Medi8er. So, to make a short story long, you better off buying yourself a Blu Ray player. You could get away with a Samsung for around R2500. EDIT: I see Ryan also replied at the same time [/QUOTE]
