It is still kind pricey for me, but for those who need it ASAP, this is the cheapest I have seen.
The GGW-H20L will burn and play Blu-ray discs, and will also only play HD-DVDs (this is an OEM as in the drive only, so there will be no software included) If you don't have a copy of powerdvd or equivalent software to play high definition media around, rethink about the deal.

Now that's a good price! A bit tempting.

To those who wonder, this model was discontinued a while ago, and there are better (mostly faster) models since. More recent models cannot read HD-DVDs though. They are also of course more expensive.

I have not seen media faster than 6x, most is 4x. Watching movies is 1x anyhow
For data backup (restore part) its a different story, but that's rare (hopefully). So the real bottle neck is not the writing speed, but cheap media, and that's 4x right now.
So good deal, I figure.

Watching movies is 1.5x. Yes, I know that's dumb but it's the case for Blu-ray. The drive must be able to sustain at least 54mbit/sec to play movies and 1x is 36mbit/sec, so you have to go 1.5x to play a movie.
