officially announced their new sub-$200 BD-ROM drive, the BDU-X10S. Using this new drive, cost-conscious consumers can upgrade their
computers so that they can play back Blu-ray Disc movies.
Sony Electronics today announced an internal BD-ROM drive that can upgrade an
existing desktop computer into a high-definition Blu-ray Disc player, as well as a DVD and a CD player.
