Don't take this seriously, but *^%#@#^*^%&^$$, (dammit) I hoped that it would lake at least a few more days. I just felt real proud getting each of my video editing machines a DVD writer. (All three of them)

O well, any word on Blue-Ray?

[sunderland]

I bet its a LiteOn or gigabyte.

Look at what happened to Sony 8x, it came out in around march at $200, yet today you can get it for $87 at buy.com after 10% coupon & Sony $30 rebate.

I'm pretty sure he's asking about writing to DVD-R DL and not DVD+R DL.

Anyway, Pioneer demonstrated burning to DVD-R DL a while ago, but I don't when the drives will be commercially available.
