For those wanting to upgrade their PC with Blu-ray.
Earlier this year I saw them dip under £100 so £50 seems like a bargain.
It is still only a Blu-Ray reader, not a writer, but disc prices are so high its unneeded at the moment.

Its worth noting, Windows Media Player does not have Blu-Ray codecs, so you sadly need to buy something like PowerDVD or cyberlink DVD etc, in order to play Blu-Ray on a PC/laptop.

Retail version usually come with the software needed to run such a device. The same model on Aria does not list it in the specifications, but in the questions section it is confirmed that it comes with PowerDVD8. That's via Aria though, Dabs seem to have given CyberDVD so better to ask I say!

As of posting, 18 available at special price of £46.87. Don't forget delivery charges, however. It may be cheaper to buy one for £55 with postage included.
ADVICE TO EVERYONE: Always research the best deals
