Page 1 has the inventory, correct? Just wanted to be sure before I ask as I see 0's.

My trusty ASUS appears to be dying a slow death as it is taking longer and longer to backup/rip.
If Billy is in fact out of his drives, my recommendation is to get an LG BP60NB10. You can still find some on CDW but they seem to be out every where else. Not as good as the Pioneer drives but it has still worked very well for me after flashing it. It's my main drive and I use Billy's Pioneer drive only for hard to read discs to save it for as long as I can.

Thank you. I was not sure what CDW is but I found it now as well as the drive you noted in stock. Not an unreasonable price either.

Question please for Billy, or anyone,
I ordered a BDR-XD08 from Billy. Being that it's flashed for backing up my UHD's and Blu-ray's, will it still function as a non-flashed out-of-box Blu-Ray player, to play normal Blu-Ray's with programs such as PowerDVD etc.?
Thank you,
Tom

No It can only do unofficial playback one flashed only UHD official drive can do both official and unofficial playback

But this is easily worked around just use makemkv integration with VLC for direct disc playback

Just ordered a drive from Billy this week. Super excited to start ripping all the DVD's and Blurays my family has been collecting for 25 years. Can't wait to get the drive. Hopefully they ship soon. I can't imagine how many orders Billy has received.
Just got my drive last night! I don't have any UHD yet but I was able to rip a Bluray last night and it worked great! Got up to 5.5X speed on my Macbook which exceeds my expectations.

Is it safe to assume since I can't even find the paypal links referenced on page 1 here that these are likely out of stock now? Or am I just dense and am not seeing the paypal links to purchase?

Got my xd08 gold in today and it's cruising along almost as fast as my aging non-UHD internal drive. Thank you for the quick response and shipment!
