LG is to launch an internal high definition disc rewriter capable of burning Blu-ray discs at up to 4x speed, as well as being able to read HD DVDs.
Presumably this will appeal to those who want to be able to read both high definition disc formats, either for movie playback or for data retrieval, and want the higher capacity Blu-ray storage for data archiving.
It's not altogether clear if the unit suffers from the same lack of HD DVD interactivity that its standalone player does.
It will be available from the end of April, priced somewhere around the £750 mark.
