Anyone know of any good external blu ray players?

So far I've seen this one:

PLEXTOR Black 6X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM USB External BD Combo Super Multi Drive Model PX-B310U

Is that any good?

P.S. I know of all the other options of an external blu ray player like a ps3, blu ray internal player, etc. .. but I'm looking for a straight up external. thanks.

Another option would be to get a good optical drive enclosure and take your pick of internal drives to mount in it. Might provide you with more/better options than a prepackaged unit.

Mmmm, that's a good suggestion actually.

Well in that case, whats the best BR burner/player and enclosure out right now?

I think I might go ahead and get this combo:

LG Black 8X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 40X CD-ROM SATA Internal Combo LG Blu-ray Reader & 16X LightScribe DVD±R DVD Burner - Retail

VANTEC NST-530S2 Aluminum 5.25" USB 2.0 External Enclosure - Retail

Anyone tried ethier of these or together?
