    This price is almost as low as regular external optical drives and has Blu-ray. Pretty good deal.

    Just remember that blu-ray playback software is not included; if you buy this, don't expect to be able to watch your blu-ray movies from it (unless you already have blu-ray playback software, in which case you probably already have a blu-ray drive and don't need this. XD).
