I think they are selling their dual-format DVD recorders here, more than their fast ones.

You can some 8X burners from New Egg for around $100 now...

Plextor is coming out with a 12 X dual burner that is Serial ATA in May with a price tag around $229...

Some more 16X burners coming this summer...

Also Dual layer recorders are also coming this summer for double the capacity on your normal DVD...over 8GB...

It looks like a burning summer...
