Yay for motor mounts! Maybe I can rig up a mirror system so that I can see my bling-*** mount from the TOP of the engine bay! Woot!

crazymikie's new toy.
you can use any drive to play movies on your pc. it's just that if you get the hacked driver for the xbox drive, it will circumvent encryption. you still need nero 8 with the hd/bluray addon or powerdvd to play movies. i think nero works better- i tried both.
you can always rip either format with any drive. my blu-ray drive is in transit, but i'll report back.

It depends on what you want- if you are using it with your computer, I'd go with a hybrid drive at this point- I'm guessing there will be a lot of crazy sales on hd movies coming up soon, so if you want to pick up a bunch, you can. I'm not sure if they will reissue a lot of the HD DVDs on blu-ray, so if there's anything you really want, then go for it now.
