Now that the Blu-ray format has won the high definition optical format war, interest in Blu-ray drives for computers is increasing.

I've put together a listing of my favorite desktop Blu-ray drives broken down by whether you need simply a writer or a player drive. Be warned that all of current Blu-ray drives use the SATA interface and that there are additional hardware and software requirements for playing back Blu-ray movies on computers.
