    Hi, i bought a 17" XPS, with Full HD specs but without BD reader drive.
    Then i'm sure that i'll upgrade it in a few weeks, should i buy an internal drive or an external one?
    I'm not sure if i'll need or not a burner.
    If i buy an internal one, will it look the same?
    The main question is: which drive should i buy to be sure the front part it's compatible?

    Thanks.

    dunno mate but I noticed that even on the new xps 17 here in the uk you can only get a blu-ray reader and not writer but in the US with the new 15" XPS you can choose a writer. Here's hoping writers will be available when the XPS 15 is released here.
