Toshiba Samsung to release combo Blu-ray PC drive in March

TechWeb News is reporting that it may not be too long and a Blu-ray PC drive will become available for those early adopters out there. But maybe it would be wise to hold out for the next generation...

The backward-compatible single-layer technology will read CD and DVD formats and is expected to launch in March, according to Richard Aguilera, western regional sales manager for optical disc-drive products at Samsung. "The first technology will burn Blu-Ray, but only read DVD and CD disks," he said.

"The next technology we'll launch," Aguilera said, "will burn all three technologies--Blu-Ray, DVDs and CDs." Samsung's second-generation is scheduled for release between April and August, Aguilera said.

Ouch! That's a pretty big release window for the next model, which would certainly be more desireable. No pricing as of yet either for these new burners. You can read the article at it's source here.
