...great. all we need now is the burner and the media.

So does this mean that HD-DVD is out of the picture?

This is no surprise, Nero info tool has been able to detect if your burner supported BluRay read and write capabilities since the -R DL support update.

BD, HD, and some new "Compromise" - The war has already begun, and the products haven't even been released yet! I guess this means that even if Toshiba and Sony do work out a compromise, BD will still hit the market?

I've entered the dvd scene in 2003 autumn, the highest possible storage on a disc was 4.7 GB the highest speed 4X! Now almost 2 years after, the fantastic 16X speed turns out to be a hoax, the double layer disc are app 9 times as expensive as a regular writable disc and most of us are affraid to burn at speeds higher than 8X, while ripping didn't really improved, and the whole working process is literally the same. So guys go for it, buy it the race is on, just keep your eyes closed, before you might see yourselves as another happy consumer:-)

Has anyone heard if this will this also support all HD audios as well??
