Is there a way to make a blu-ray player using the PHR-803T sled? $300 for a blu-ray player? Thats crazy! So ya anyone know about making one maybe?

Simply take your PHR-803t sled, find out what every wire on it does, how to control the diodes and servos and pickups, then build an intricate robot that will spin a disc and move the sled precisely into the position to read the data tracks and move the sled between them with sub-micron accuracy, pay a very large licensing fee to the bluray consortium in order to use their decryption routines, build a complex decryption circuit to decode the incoming data stream, then feed the decrypted data through an ATA controller.
Here's some datasheets and whitepapers you'll need to get started:

Good luck! Unless you have millions of dollars to invest in research and development and licensing fees, you're probably not going to get far. It might just be cheaper to buy a real bluray player for $50 on sale at walmart.
