Does this support HD-DVD too ? Its not mentioned in the specs.
I doubt it - gonna be a while before a hybrid drive will be made IMO even though stand alone hybrid players from (LG to begin with) are now appearing.

HD-DVD, BluRay, DVD and CD :)

Thats an LG, not the Pioneer and is double the price. Also sounds like it struggles with HD-DVD.

For the projected cost you could buy the Pioneer and a 360 HD-DVD drive for less.
I was replying to Grimley saying it will be a while before we see hybrid drives :)

Never said it was a pioneer or affordable :)
