from the site .... "and you can play and burn HD DVD and play Blu-Ray media!"
Burn HD-DVD but only PLAY BLUE-RAY.
Just so we can all be straight or do i have it wrong?

you have it wrong, burn cds and dvds(like the 25$ burners), and play only blu-ray and hd-dvds
I got one of these retail boxed from fry's b&m for 89.99 on black friday and it works just fine

Join the club brother. According to Newegg's site you can cancel the order and then place it again to get the lower price but only if the order didn't ship yet. I almost did the cancel/rebuy but the two video cards I got for my new system are OOS already so I'll just eat the 15 bucks on this one. I got the same LG drive for my HTPC last October and it works great. Kids are watching Blu-Ray Prince Caspien as I type.

Though it does say that in the text description that is incorrect. This drive does not burn HD-DVD dicss. The specs section correctly show 3X HD-DVD Read Only.

Dang I'm torn on this. I keep saying if this drive dies I can just use one of my Xbox HDDVD drives for HDDVD playback. I have a hard time justifying 2 optical drives for an HTPC. Maybe I need to just buy one and stick it in one of my other PCs so I don't have it sitting around gathering dust.
Is there really anything about this drive that it doesn't do that makes it silly to buy another one? I mean, it even does Lightscribe. If I don't care about burning HD media I don't see how it gets much better than this.
I thought I got a good deal months ago at $120, but maybe $90 is about as low as it will get. . .
I figure even if I had a warranty claim or repair they could easily try to swap me out with a BD only drive and get away with it. . .and with all the cheap HDDVD sales I have quite a collection.
