Very Unhappy!

Reviewed By: starams5 on 6/17/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: None.

Cons: This burner has some type of virtual software built into the drive called "Bluebirds". Bluebirds is advertisement linked to the LG website to get you to buy more LG products. If you choose not to install the software you will be prompted to install it every time you close the drive door. If you install it you get the tray icons pointing to more LG products. If you remove it from the startup it adds itself back to the startup every time you close the drive door.

Other Thoughts: You have been WARNED! Newegg took the drives back hassle free, their still the best.

Dont buy this!

Reviewed By: TitaniumDrew on 6/19/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: It is a SATA DVD Burner

Cons: As stated below, it comes with some kind of firmware where if you close the cd door with no cd in it, it autoruns something that asks you to install a program called "bluebirds" which is adware at best. Newegg was great and credited the money back to me and told me to throw the drive away or do whatever I wanted with it.

Other Thoughts: Not worth the price of shipping.

Firmware fix makes it a good drive

Reviewed By: OrbitalGun on 11/19/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: Does exactly what you expect it to do. It has read every DVD I've put in it, and so far has never given me a bad burn.

Cons: As stated many times before, the factory firmware comes with an auto-launching software called Bluebirds, which is essentially spyware. It can be removed with a firmware update, but that seems like an unnecessary step to have to take with a brand new drive.

Other Thoughts: LG has released a firmware update (since I can't post a URL here, just Google "LG+Bluebirds", and it should be the first result) that removes the Bluebirds software.

Actually can work

Reviewed By: Jim on 11/18/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Nice looking and works well.

Cons: Item comes without cables or software. This should be clear but isn't. Also the Blubird software referenced in other reviews can be removed with a tool from LG. The address for the tool is. http://www.lge.com/us/support/product/support-product-profile.jsp?customerModelCode=GH22NS50&initialTab=documents&targetPage=support-product-profile
Just download the update file for Bluebird removal. There is also a new firmware update for working with Windows 7 available

Other Thoughts: I really wish the product description had been better but over all I'm happy with my pruchase.
