    Hi,

    Wondering if anyone know where I can buy a Blue Ray Drive for my Vaio Z. I can't seem to find a part number, I know it is available as an option.

    Cheers,
    Will

    ^rather expensive?

    at $1030, i'd say that figure is astronomical.

    Buy an external blu-ray drive for 15% of that price.
