    Installed my own blue ray drive in my R2 thanks to Moos awsome guide. The only question i have though is why am i getting lag when I play blue ray discs. I have updated all the firmware but still the movies lag at times. Anyone else run into this problem? And Mr. Moo you are the King of laptop geeks in my book thanks for making the guide.

    I remember seeing somewhere that the player you use makes a difference. The only problem is that pretty much all players that support blu ray cost money...
