I would be tempted if the price didn't keep falling every other week.

I remember when I got the first Sony DVD burner that did both formats. I think it was a DRU500 or something. It was over $300 when I bought it. Within a couple months, they were under $100. I recently gave it away in a repair job I did. Now, you can get dual layers that are much faster for $30. There's no way I'm buying into this thing early.

A burner?

no, ROM only, can't burn anything, not even a CD

for 200 bucks its way over priced, since for 250 you can find LG GGC-H20L.

GGC-H20L can burn DVD/CD and read both HD-DVD and Blu-ray. Even if HD-DVD looses, its still good being able to read both formats.
