Will this work properly on USB 2.0? I could be totally off but I thought the data rate required for Blu-ray was higher than USB 2.0 standards.

Nope, you can watch a bluray movies on a 54megabits/sec(54/8=6.75 megabytes/second), USB 2.0 should be good for 216megabits(27 megabytes/second) or 6x BD. the next speed increase would push past what most usb controllers can handle(despite the USB specs of 480 megabits/sec overheat puts it much lower).

[scifi9000]

and another thing, is there a working 3D solution for ATI/AMD yet? Bit Cauldren have been promicing.. but no one is delivering.

Nice to see we've reached the point of having external Blu-ray drives. These things are really coming down in price now.

Just like before DVD the price is going down.

I think a PS3 is portable enough for a lower price. This device cant even play games, network, or access netflix.

 

[NotYetRated]

haha this price point is simply amazing. /agree with @Elbert. Would MUCH rather just have another PS3. Not the 3d is worth is additional cost yet anyways.

Misleading... a true portable player would have its OWN Screen, just like ANY Portable DVD does.
