not fully functional with software it comes with!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This drive works well , connected up and played cd's and dvd's with provided software. Unfortunately, they give you cyber dvd 10, which is 4 versions old and does not support blu ray playback unless you upgrade it to do so. I have no other blu ray program on my computer, or any other i can upload, so either i purchase version 14, or have a car that does everything but drive over 20 miles per hour. That's poor marketing A few years ago manufacturers cared and gave you stuff to use their products out of the box. Out of principle, i'm returning it to best buy. I can burn dvd's and play blu-rays on other computers, and burning stuff to blu rays or copying blu rays is not cost effective, so this was just a "nice to have" thing, not need to have. Secondarily, the packaging on all lg drives were crumby, no model numbers to know what i was looking at. I had to go to the check out and have the bb employee scan the different drives to find out skew and the model numbers to know what i had in my hand. It'm giving this 3 stars because i know the drive works, ran quiet, connected without issue, but not full function out of the box.

Good BR reader
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The BR player works fine. The only complain I have is that it comes with a CD with lots of software without any explanation of what the different software does, so I ended up installing everything, which may or may not be needed.

Nice Drive - No Support
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You need to install the included software to play Blu-Rays. This software is Windows only. This software cannot be downloaded, so do not lose the disc! In fact, LG has a product page for this, but not a support page. It has 3D, but I've yet to figure that one out. It has a great price. It plays Blu-rays. However, it may not be the best choice for everyone. Would I recommend? I'd advise them to wait until LG supports this.

Reliable performance and great portability
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This will service your needs well and is very slim and portable. As drives of this type go , it is on par with other offerings. This brand has proven very reliable and if you need a USB DVD R/W drive this will be a good choice.

Functional product
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good product, works fine, no issues - would like to see Best Buy offer a case for the product - for storage purposes, it would be nice if it came with a storage case, or else Best Buy maybe sell corresponding storage cases for the product. The store did not have any displayed next to the product.

Not bad, works for basic needs
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought mainly to scan my blu-rays to my computer (for verification for VUDU Disc-to-Digital conversion). Works alright. A little clunky at times, and some skipping. Maybe this box got dropped before I bought it? Nothing special, and odd that its more expensive for this than a media blu-ray smart player.
