Hello,

I have an Acer laptop which is about a year old.....

It has a HD DVD player in it and what I want to know....can I put a Blue ray player in it's place by opening it up and removing the old one seeing how HD DVD is nie on obsolite.

Reason being, my computer will output HD to a TV and I have just hot a HD Plasma TV...

Thanks,

Ben

if they make a BluRay drive for your computer it shouldn't be difficult, expensive though.

just had a quick look, buy a BluRay player

Sounds like that's what I'll do!!

Discs are awful in price, £10 each for a 25gb one and if you have a bad burn it ain't funny, I'd just stick with a normal one for now if I was you, 25p wasted is better than a tenner.

But what if he wants to watch blu ray ???

Nobody burns blu ray yet anyway do they, as you say they cost too much ????

what on earth has that got to do with the man wanting to watch films?

I was just trying to help out mate, no need to get all sarky about it.

not getting sarky at all, just thought it was quite a random comment and i have no arguements with you on the annoyance of losing a £10 disc due to burn error.

Ok, I misread you then, np.

Not when you can fit certain bluray movies on a DL DVD.
