No word on a compromise just yet, but Philips has
made another step towards alaunch of next generation DVD's by confirming their release of the first internal Blu-ray
writer for the PC. No word on price, but you'll be able to enjoy burning single-layer Blu-ray discs (25GB) at 72Mbps.
It will record to BD-R or BD-RE media, as well as all sorts of regular DVD's (except DVD-RAM). We'll know more at CES where they expect to be showing the unit off.

They should have just waited until CES to announce this and its pricing.
hmmm. been there - bought the first on OEM A104 DVD writer, way back in the old days of DVD writers - left a bad impression on me - firmware and software sucked. i hope this one comes out of the gate in better shape.
