Sony is rolling out its Internal Blu-ray Disc Rewritable Drive known as BWU-100A. The BWU-100A is an internal drive with an IDE (ATA/ATAPI) interface and supports recording both 50GB and 25GB BD-R (write once) and BD-RE (rewritable) discs, as well as 4.7 GB DVD+R/+RW/RAM, 8.5GB DVD+R Double/Dual Layer, and CD-R/-RW discs.

It can store up to 4 hours of 1080 HD video on a single dual layer 50G BD disc making it ideal for storing HD videos and data as well as a computer backup. It is expected to ship on or around August 18, 2006 but you can place your pre-order now. It retails for $749.90.

(Alright, you caught us with the price typo - we just wanted to discourage everyone from buying it so we could have them all for ourselves!)

even if the ps3 cannot burn, a dvd player is half a dvd burner so I suppose 749/2= 374$ if you take that from the ps3 price : 499$-374$=125$ the the ps3? no, the BD/DVD/CD burner have to make money, sony loose about 150$ ( or more ) on each ps3 they sell and make the cash with games royalties... Anyway I just wanted to say the ps3 cost a lot a little bit because of the BD player anyway.

( even if sony have to spend also on the cell, the cell coolant, and the 20-60gig HDD lol )

I read this after they fixed, and saw the edit and thought that meant this thing was gonna be something wayy cheaper!

I'm definately not getting one of those for 10 years XD

I have 24x CD-rom in my computer too lol

pretty damn cheap! i thot the burners wud retail for more than the player itself.

If you make up the numbers yourself don't wonder why they only apply to your inner universe and aren't compatible with the real world.

I'd say this ist extremely cheap for a start - the first DVD burners came for around 2000$ IIRC...

Thats one expensive paper weight. just think..in 20 years that thing will be on display in the smithsonian with the rest of sony's formats. the exhibit will be called "The Hall of Shame" and it will be narated by Tony Danza...and to the commenter that said whatever mac goes with will be the winner..you are an ass....mac is following pc's. so whatever format wins will be the one mac gets.
