Summary:
For the people that don’t want to spend $600 on the PS3 simply for the blu-ray drive, then they may be looking for alternatives to still get the most amazing picture ever for their movies. The LG Blu-ray Super-Multi Drive with LightScribe is the perfect blu-ray package to play any and all DVD’s you have. It is not only an HD-DVD and Blu-ray player, it is also a DVD burner that has a max of 16x write speed. The lightscribe function lets you make customized labels by etching it onto a special coated lightscribe disc.
Pros:
A great drive for the price, plays HD-DVD’s, Blu-Ray discs, and regular DVD’s, max burn speed of 16x and with the lightscribe technology, it’s also a home DVD creator.
Cons:
Really….none. Unless price is an issue. Another thing is that you’d want a fairly decent machine to run this and keep it cool at the same time.
Rating:
5/5 – Affordable price, great features, a real “all-in-one” wonder.
