I'm getting a laptop w/o a built in DVD drive so I'm looking to get an external one.
However, I have never had experience with external Disc drives. Thus I'm looking for tips on what to look for and what to avoid so that I can make an educated purchase.

The requirements that I have for the drive are:
Connects via USB [i have both USB 3.0 or 2.0 to use]

Can play DVDs [specifically games]

Costs $60 or less [if possible with my requirements]

Thanks for the help

Any websites you prefer to buy from? If so I'll look on those if not just generic newegg.

Newegg would be great so I can combine shipping with the laptop. But If there is something better somewhere else I wouldn't mind.

And I'm not looking for a particular Drive I am more looking to know if there is anything I need to watch out for.
[aka some spec that means that DVD drive can't handle newer games, or won't read movies, or has a driver that isn't very compatible, etc...]
