    Hey guys, so I decided (finally) on a laptop. A Force 16F2-012 from Xotic PC. I want to add my own Blu ray drive as I really like slot loaders better than tray load. Can anybody recommend to me an (inexpensive <less than 100> but reliable) internal slot load blu ray player that I can add to my Force?

    Thank you in advance.

    Forget about inexpensive and reliable; that's and oxymoron. Since this is a mechanical device, price should never come first.

    Since I'm a already a fan of Panasonic, I recommend them. LG being the second best choice.

    EDIT: Both the above come in at below your $100 mark.
