We are pleased to announce our preview of the Pioneer BDR-101A Blu-ray writer. Special thanks go out to Pioneer Europe NV, who were kind enough to send us their first Blu-ray drive. This exciting, next generation drive supports 2x BD-R/RE, 8x DVD±R, 4x DVD+RW/-RW and 2.4x/2x DVD+R DL/DVD-R DL writing.

In this preview look, Reviewer, Moderator Dee-27 has taken the Pioneer and given us some very good insight concerning this burners blue laser features. This includes the software package, reading performance, along with Blu-ray writing performance. But, she does not stop there and makes sure we can all take a look at the BDR-101A in action reading and writing to our favorite red laser medias, including dual layer discs.

ah If you can afford a thousand dollar Blu Ray burner i am sure you can afford a 40 dollar dvd burner. I am sure that is what the Blu Ray and HD-DVD people were thinking. Otherwise you would be waiting a whole lot longer for either of these devices.

I want to be Dee-27 assistant. How much does this drive cost?? $800??? Thats almost as much as my whole raid dual core opteron computer without LCD screen. Most people dont mind the price of the drive, just that they get killed by the price of the media.
