Hello Standforme, what do mean NIB and NOS ?

Hello Va1der Thanks for all the information. I didn't really want a external slim drive, I already have one : Hitachi LG hl-dt-ST- BD-RE BP55EB40. But thanks for your help. If you know of any nice newly release internal drive, for 5.25" drive bay, able to burn all kind of discs including 100 an...

So Pioneer pulls out of Blu-ray drive manufacturing? What about other brands ? LG? Asus? They're pulling out too? About blu-ray discs, Copilot ...
