c't Magazin got an engineering sample of a Samsung SH-BD022 Blu Ray burner, the first review of any such device. This pre-production version already works quite well, can't burn DVDs and CDs and no dual layer BDs yet, but retail versions will. Will ship in April for 500 USD. Plays copy-protected audio CDs, isn't too loud. To watch movies in HD, you'll need a 3 GHz CPU and a graphics card with 128 MB RAM (recommended at least Geforce 7800 or ATI Radeon X1800) with HDMI or DVI with HDCP (which is almost the same) out. The first few of these drives and matching graphics cards will probably be found as OEM versions in big brand machines.
