I question the logic in buying an upgrade to PowerDVD Ultra 8 for ~$59.99 from PowerDVD Ultra 7. Therefore it might be more cost effective to buy a retail Blu-Ray ROM drive for around ~$130 if I can find one that ships with PowerDVD Ultra 8 OEM. Have drives started to ship with PowerDVD Ultra 8 OEM and if so what models. If not when will such drive / software bundles ship?

Wouldn’t buying from another source be acceptable:

I have an LG GGW-H20L drive as well and it works fine on my Vista system with the OEM PowerDVD Ultra 7.3.3104a.
As soon as I tried to play my only “HD DVD” disc (King Kong) a critical update download prompt was triggered. I downloaded and installed the update which upgraded PowerDVD Ultra to version 7.3.3319.0. The HD DVD played fine before the update and after the update. I also downloaded the version OEM 3516 update but haven’t installed it yet.
I expect that Blu-Ray discs will be more problematic.

What version of PowerDVD Ultra 7 do you have?
My LG GGW-H20L Blu-Ray Burner drive came with PowerDVD Ultra 7 OEM version 7.3.3104a in the Cyberlink Hi-Def Suite. After popping in an HD DVD title (King Kong) I was prompted to download a critical update which upgraded it to version 7.3.3319.0. Although the latest direct download for my LG OEM version is 7.3.3516. A far cry from 3730 I know,…..
What problem do you have that prompts you to upgrade?
Anyway, if you think we are getting screwed over updates for PowerDVD Ultra 7 OEM just wait until PowerDVD Ultra 8 gets here,….and rumor has it that we will see version 8 soon. The PowerDVD 8 beta is already out.
