Have the FW510F and love this thing. Curious if anyone has located a bluray drive that will work. It has a DVD/RW drive but I'd be interested to upgrade it to a bluray reader at some point.
Any leads?

Any slim blu-ray drive such as Matsh1ta UJ-110 should work. There is one at eBay right now for auction. You may get lucky. You can get the software free from Sony at

You need to install both software in the order shown in order to bring it up to the latest patch.
If you receive an error message such as model or OS incompatibility while installing WinDVD, you can bypass the model or OS Checker by using Universal Extractor. http://legroom.net/software/uniextract -

Thanks for your help. The only drive I see on Ebay right now is actually just the front bezel faceplate...but i'll keep my eyes open. +1 for the help. Thanks.
