Purchased from Newegg.com and played/backedup some blu-ray movies and burned a few Memorex BD-R 25GB discs just fine. I'm not yet sure how to find the correct official firmware update on the LG site.

Bought this at NewEgg. Software that came with it says it incompatible with the drive. Cant find this drive anywhere on the LG website.
