There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
HOWEVER, it did work fine with all my personal "stickerless" blu-ray discs, hence the strong rating.
Pros:
-Super slim (also a con but I will get to this later)
-Worked with standard blu-rays out of the box
-TECHNICALLY possible to cross-flash the firmware to play/read 4k discs (you will have to flash to an unencrypted 1.02 standard firmware, and then cross-flash to the BP60NB10 1.00 FW.)
-Very acceptable read speeds if you are backing-up any discs
-Decent price (80-90$)
CONS
-Will not work with any rental/library discs that use RFID stickers to prevent physical theft due to how thin the housing is. Bluray discs start vibrating at about 1x speed and start clipping the top of the drive housing. (Funny enough, applying light/medium pressure to the sides allows room for the vibrations to occur and discs will play just fine, but you have to have your hand on it the entire time.)
-Flimsy inner tray is a two/three piece sliding mechanism that always sags and feels bad to pull discs off of. (although it's probably fine)
-The noise at normal read speeds is good, but higher read speeds and ANY imbalance or raised stickers on the disc will cause horrible noise and errors.
CONCLUSION
Overall, I recommend this drive if you know that you will ONLY be attempting to read blu ray discs that are non-rental/library (no stickers). Maybe for someone looking to back-up their personal collection, but not for the family movie night while borrowing from a local library.
So I don't love this for watching movies, but it's been great at reading and ripping them to my hard drive.
I also haven't tried burning any discs with it, since I have no need to (and likely never will).
If you want a decent player for watching movies on your computer, prepare to pay triple what this one costs. Had I done a little more research, I'd have gone for a much higher-end (and much more expensive) player.
Anyway, more expensive players might give a slightly better experience, but if you can deal with a tiny bit of lag once in a while, this one definitely seems like a good buy for the price.
