LG Electronics has revealed the price of its new internal disc drive that is capable of reading and rewriting Blu-ray blank media and reading HD DVD-ROM discs. LG already offers a hybrid stand-alone player for both formats, but it lacks support for several aspects of HD-DVD, meaning it carries no HD DVD logo. The GGW-H10N "Super Multi Blue" drive will cost a whopping $1,200 to buy.
It can burn both single layer and dual layer Blu-ray discs, supporting up to 4x write speed for single layer (24 minutes per disc), but drops back to 2x for dual layer. The 4x write speed is welcome, but the market currently only offers consumers single layer Blu-ray media, mostly with 2x write speed support for about $11 to $20 per disc.
The GGW-H10N will also read and write DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, CD-R and CD-RW.
