    Hi,
    I just bought an XPS laptop for my husband for Christmas, and I selected the (BD/DVD/CD read/write). The order output says 313-5819 1 2X BluRay Drive
    420-8164 1 Roxio Creator 10 Premiere Blu-Ray 420-7759 1 Media Direct for Blu-Ray, which looks a bit different than what I thought I selected.

    Now I am not sure I got what I selected... and someone told me that this won't burn. But I think it will burn in BD, DVD, and CD. Am I wrong? Thanks.

    It looks good to me.

    Just from the fact that they noted a Roxio edition with BD capabilities (even if everyone gets that) makes it seem that you are getting the BD drive with write capabilities, as you ordered.

    Also, from the description of 2x Blu-Ray and nothing else, it seems that it writes Blu-Ray; otherwise, the description should have been 8x DVD+R/2x BD-ROM, to indicate the difference.
