BluRay DVD burner for PC?

"Would you believe me if I tell you that there is a Pioneer DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DVD-+DL and BR (BluRay) burner and that it's called BRD-101A? Well, you'd better, and here's the proof! A Korean site (that gets its news from a Chinese site) provides us pictures that this internal PC BluRay DVD burner really exists. Noteworthy is that this burner does not support CD's and DVD-RAM's."
Wow, so we finally have our first Blu-ray burner. It is interesting that the Blu-ray folks was able to get an OEM drive out before the HD-DVD guys. This is an odd/impressive drive - impressive in that it can do dual-layer DVD±R/RWs, and, of course, the next gen optical format; odd in that it can't do CDs. I guess there wasn't space for a third laser.
