I mean HP has to get theres from some where for there m8010y and d4890y series media centers right ? or do they make them ? I know the talk is next year for PC combo drives but does any one have any desire to see one sooner ? jim.bennett 05-10-07, 01:34 AM The LG GGW-H10N will be out very soon, same drive thats in the HP PC's, which went on sale today actually. The combo drive is a $560 option for the PC. mfletcher 05-10-07, 08:26 AM Thanks alot buddy :D isi 05-11-07, 01:14 PM If you buy one don't buy it from "Meritline". They advertised that they had a blu-ray/HD-DVD drive then shipped a Blu-ray drive only. Now they won't give their customers an rma or return the item. This their orginal site via google cache can be pulled up by doing a search of "meritline GGW-H10NI" mfletcher 05-17-07, 09:13 AM Thanks a lot I will definitely keep that in mind TomsHT 05-21-07, 07:12 AM Does this combo drive have limitations like the combo player itself such as it can not read iHD or recordable media? Would it be better and around the same price to just purchase two individual drives for each format for the PC and if so which ones are recommended? I believe Pioneer has one out for around $300 now grucl 05-21-07, 09:13 AM So how does one use this drive to watch both formats? Does it come with a special software? PowerDVD for example wants me to choose one of the two formats while installing and won´t play the other one unless i re-install it. rexdigital 05-22-07, 02:00 AM I heard either power dvd (newer version) or windvd will present the option upon disc insertion.

PowerDVD Ultra 7.3 will play both BD and HD DVD. mfletcher 05-22-07, 02:49 PM Does this combo drive have limitations like the combo player itself such as it can not read iHD or recordable media?
