    Type this in since I'm so new, I can't post URLs:

    I have an HP dv6000 I love, but really want to add blu-ray. It's not just for the luxury of hi-def movies and the likelihood I'll soon have an HDTV, but for the storage opportunity. That's why a ROM drive would be subpar to me. will this writer drive work in my laptop? Thanks to all who can help.

    For a laptop? I do all my burning on my desktop.. If you don't have a desktop, and you found a decent deal for the blueray burner, I say go for it. But most bluray are in the 100's.. Not worth it.
