I've got a BD-ROM in my March-vintage system. I've yet to actually BURN anything, more from laziness and lack of the media to burn...
Works okay for me, but I am a bit disappointed that it's damn hard to play BluRay movies due to the MPAA and Player manufacturers not wanting folks to watch movies on any brand of PC with the option to rip the files to HD. Legal software to watch BluRay movies is about as expensive as getting a no-frills player, and apparently the new software has less functionality than the "obsolete" software that came bundled with my drive.

them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
