OH, if the war isn't over last week, it is surely over now. ]]>May 2nd 2007 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/May 2nd 2007 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/May 2nd 2007 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/May 2nd 2007 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/
This would be an interesting development in the format war, but because it's just an internal drive (at least I think it is), it probably won't make a huge difference.]]>May 2nd 2007 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/
This isn't something you can hook up to your TV to watch movies, unless you have a home theater PC.]]>May 2nd 2007 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/May 2nd 2007 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/May 2nd 2007 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/
You have to remember that a lot of people who have media center PC's are computer people and upgrading your computer is just something you do once a year. The cost of a new video card and other pieces would just be an upgrade cost.]]>May 2nd 2007 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/May 2nd 2007 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/
We're talking internal drives here. The XBOX 360 drive doesn't count...]]>May 2nd 2007 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/

I liked the idea of using this for ripping blu-ray onto a hard drive and then watching connected to my TV?

Also, what would street price be on this unit?]]>May 2nd 2007 5:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/02/pioneers-bdc-2202-300-blu-ray-drive-heads-for-the-states/
