    Title says it all, looking at getting the P-171X-FX or XL but the XL only list a HD-DVD drive which at this point would be like getting it with a 5.25 floppy drive. Anybody ask Gateway about Blu-Ray drives?

    Nevermind, I chatted with two of them and the word is that those systems are already built and no plans for blu-ray. So off to something else for me. I would think a BD drive would be in the works now that could fit these.
