yea that is the cheapest option, IF your pc is equiped with a nvidia 8600GT or x3450 ati video card or better(excluding the nvidia 8800gts/gtx)

.... even if you have a dual core amd your sol without one of those cards... not enough juice to decode bluray. so if you have 1 of those cards along with a intel core2 duo cpu.. then yea.. the 170 dolla bluray drive is a drop in the bucket(i picked up a hybrid hd-dvd/bluray rom for around 240ish)
