Hi to everyone who loves me!

I'd like to buy a new brand blu-ray burner but I'm still in doubt which one will best suite my needs.
I was fancying to get a Sony one or a Plextor...but I really don't know jet.
Hope one of you could better clear my mind and explain me what I have to check before get into a computer store.
Any help will be really appreciate.
Bye,
Stefano.
If there is a member here who has had the time and money to buy and compare different blu-ray burners, I will defer to their judgement on this question. I have not had either, so far.
In making purchase decisions like this I typically resort to professional test evaluation and review organizations - like
http://www.ehow.com/how_4601968_bluray-dvd...r-computer.htmlor others. I tried the search terms ["how to" buy "blu-ray" burner ] and got several interesting hits, including the above and links to a Chris Pirillo video touting a particular external unit. Of course I would use several variations of search terms (eg. [ review rate "blu-ray" burner ]) to locate reviews of the type of equipment I was considering purchasing (such as wintel vs mac, brand, internal or external, etc.), with a goal of being able to read at least 3 and preferably 5 solid review articles before making a final decision.
Perhaps other members have recently researched blu-ray player/burner equipment, and can point us to good review articles or web postings.
