84 Comments
Sony has officially announced its first aftermarket Blu-ray Disc burner for PCs, which is slated to go on sale nationwide in August for $750 USD. The drive BD-R and BD-RE discs, and can store up to 50GB of data -- or four hours of high-definition video at 1080i.
Sony says the BWU-100A can record a single-layer 25GB Blu-ray disc in 50 minutes. DVD and CD burning is also supported. The company is bundling CyberLink's BD Solution with the drive, which will enable customers to burn high-definition content from one of Sony's new HDV camcorders onto a Blu-ray disc. Pre-orders are now being accepted at sonystyle.com.
