This drive is capable of only reading HD DVD and BD while writes DVD. But then its $100 more than Pioneer's BD only drive at $300. $100 to read HD DVD is not thad expensive :p

LG Electronics will launch GGC-H20LI, its latest Super Multi Blue hybrid drive supporting read of both Blu-ray Disc (BD) and HD DVD formats, for sale at a recommended price of US$400 later this quarter, according to industry sources in Taiwan.

Although LG is a member of the BD Association, the company has also adopted the HD DVD format for its blue-laser optical disc drives as business strategy, similar to its developing Super Multi triple-format DVD burners in the past, the sources pointed out.
