Why wouldnt i just buy the LG combo HD-DVD/Bluray player and dual-layer DVD burner for $299? Then spend $20-25 bucks on an external esata/usb case. Think i will pass.
Doesn't seem like you'd save any money going the LG(-branded) version route w/ external enclosure. Also, note that some have reported the LG drive is longer (deeper) than a typical 5.25" drive, so some enclosures may not mate with it properly ...
