    Sony offers a blu-ray disc player and blu-ray disc burner as options with the Vaio S series. Would anyone happen to know what brand and model number the drives are? Have any of you guys done the upgrade yourself?

    I've come up with model number UJ-167 for a blu-ray player thats 9.5mm drive. I'm not sure if this is the drive that comes as an option on the Vaio S series but nonetheless, it's expensive($200 ebay). Plus you have to buy software to play blu-ray discs with. Therefore, you would be much better off ordering it with your computer in the first place.
