Hi,
To go with a new TH-P50V20A plasma I'm buying an ASROCK 330 IONHT-BD and will be installing XBMC Live on its hard disk.
I do not want to buy a standalone bluray disc player as I will very rarely be playing an actual physical bluray disc (probably only if a visitor brings one over to play). So I'm getting the 330HT-BD on the assumption that one day disc playback will perhaps be supported, but in the meantime am hoping to enable a solution to play discs outside of XBMC Live.
Using commercial software (e.g. powerdvd or whatever) is fine as well as booting a seperate OS to do so. I'm thinking perhaps a USB boot stick that I can insert and just boot a bluray disc player straight off when needed.
Thoughts or solutions appreciated...
