Why are there no silver drives these days?

 

[Josh P]

The last tray drive I bought came with beige, silver and black faceplates - I don't know whether this is still common practice though.

 

[NeoVo]

Yeah, i may be wrong but i believe some retail optical drives come with the interchangable faceplates?

Very cheap for a quick blu ray writer , shame the media for them are still sky high.

 

[Ace Modder]

Why are there no silver drives these days?

Because people do not buy silver cases anymore.

 

[paradigm]

Because people do not buy silver cases anymore.

So, I should buy a new case just because you won't stock silver drives?

 

[_SBradley_]

I think there's a bit of confusion with the model numbers? The title for the first says -S05, which matches the image. But the text for both says -205. Are they actually the same drive, just retail vs. OEM? If so, which model number is correct?

No, you should use a different etailer.

 

[Blackbadger]

Its frustrating that the media isn't available. Even the 6x disks are hard to come by and are silly money.

 

[derkaderka]

I have had a blu-ray burner for over a year now

I have burnt about 2 blu-ray discs so far

Media prices are still extracting the urine

you could spray paint it.

Seriously 95% of cases are black nowadays, so there's no point them releasing a new SKU as that costs them money.

Its a nice drive, £170 is a bit steep but could have been a lot worse, nice to see ocuk being the first on the pre-order for this. America has had this drive for about 3 months now, pioneer has been so slow bringing it to the uk

Btw, a lot of 6x discs will write at 10x/12x incase people were wondering where 12x discs are.

4x BD-R 25GB are pretty cheap now, some of the cheaper brands do 10pcs for £12-14 so £1.20 per disc. 50GB discs are stupidly expensive.

 

[FrankJH]

Not interested until they are multi region/unlocked (and price comes down a bit)

 

[alwyn]

Will wait for the prices to come down

Why stock something that doesnt sell, They have 20, they sell 1 to you. Where do the rest go? Sit on a shelf? become dated hardware? OCUK are out of pocket on a bad stock choice?
