Hot on the heals of LaCie’s new-fangled external 4x Blu-ray burner comes LG’s three-pronged effort that knocks its rival for six – 6x that is.
Only wanted to post this because this drive will most likely replace the current LG offering, which should be the last drive to feature HD DVD read support. What's happening here in Australia is that the old drive is being discounted quite heavily now to clear stock, and you can pick up a Blu-ray burner (plus HD DVD reader) for less than $300 (normal price is above $500). Considering the Pioneer Blu-ray read-only drive is $220 here, $300 is fantastic value for a BD burner (and HD DVD reader). Even LG's own Blu-ray/HD DVD read-only drive was selling for $220 just last week!
