Customer Review

Works well

sabinwc on 3/21/2008
somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

    Pros:

  • Works well. Bought it to play Blu-Ray discs on a Media Center PC running Vista Ultimate. Its played all the Blu-Ray discs I’ve thrown at it so far. Definitely recommend doing the update that’s available from Pioneer. Doing that update allowed me to play all the discs I own.
  • Cons:

  • Not much, just a little annoying that you have to download an update right away, but not too big a deal. Most of the discs I’ve opened have documentation that says to check for updates on your player, so not a real big deal.
  • Other Thoughts:

  • Haven’t burned anything on it, but the specs seem a little slow. Then again I didn’t purchase it for burning, just for watching videos.
