Budget External Bluray Drives?

Post by LillianaVolkman »

I'm having trouble finding budget friendly bluray drives to watch/rip my blurays from ? i know pioneer exited the market this year so are there any alternatives to look at for that don't cost several hundred?

No.

About a year and a half ago I bought 5 Pioneer BDR-212V's for 85 each and at that time, and even now, I consider $85 a lot for a optical drive :-/ (but I still bought 5 for a project). In other words, they haven't been "cheap" for a while and I'm not sure if the UHD compatible ones have ever been cheap.
