So... I received my drive (Pioneer BDR-XS07TS) from Asmcom and I could test it out yesterday. It came in a very well packed box with a healthy amount of foam protection so everything was neatly placed and unharmed inside even though the package had been opened by customs. Speaking of customs, with 5...

I went 37 hours without sleep and just going to bed now. A very hard day. Holy cow! :idea: That must have been a real cluster f#3k to entangle... Thank you for your work :!: In that case I agree with @subsonic: get some sleep! you deserved it! I have to admit to some amount of sphincter clenching w...

If you ordered a BDR-XD08EMB-S and it was cancelled and refunded, please contact us, as we may have alternative options available for you. We have deliberately held back a small number of Pioneer drives, to deal with the customers who drives were cancelled. In several cases, customers ordered four ...

@f.zst I think we will know more tomorrow or tonight, probably a lot of chaos today. Everyone wants a drive before stock runs out

Indeed, I don't envy Asmcom right now I hope it didn't create too much work for him.

For context for those wondering wth is going on, I have just received an email informing me that during the final testing the drive failed to power on, and to quote the mail : "We have since been advised by Pioneer that this batch of 10 × BDR-XD08EMB-S drives should not have been supplied to u...

Asmcom refunded my second order, i'm waiting for a reply about the first one that i still didn't pay :cry: He just refunded my order as well. I guess he ran out of stock after all? :( If so, I don't understand why he doesn't shut down the website though..? You can still place new orders - which I g...

I guess if you use that paypal link Asmcom posted you send the order number as message but this is speculation at this point.

I did just that and it worked fine. Made the payment with the order number and my name attached in the notes and I received a confirmation via email right after.

Jep, me too.

I’m trying to add the Pioneer Premium BDR-XD08EMB-S to the cart to purchase it, but there’s no “add” button. It says in stock but also out of stock As far as I understood it, you can only purchase the full package with the protective case and the power supply - at least that's the only option that ...

That's great to hear!

Is there a significant difference between these Pioneer drives besides the opening mechanism?

Pioneer BDR-XD08EMB-S
Pioneer BDR-XS07TS
Pioneer BDR-XS07TUHD

Hi guys,
Is one of these new Asus external drives UHD friendly? Can you use these to rip UHDs?

Hi guys, I'm completely new here but I need some advice. I played with the idea of getting a drive to rip my blu rays for quite some time now but frankly I just feared venturing into yet another AV-related rabbit hole but since more and more drive manufacturers seem to fold, I figured I get one as l...
