Por muito que gosto da plextor pelo q tb já vi estas drives são supostamente um "rebadge" das drives GGC-H20L e GGW-H20L da LG

Qt a preços as drives da LG estão com preços a partir de $254.49 para o GGC-H20L e de $377.94 para o GGW-H20L
 
Poix.. e plextor costuma-se pagar bem...

O segundo já não me parece mal..
Se entretanto saisse um assim ou melhor a 50€ ou menos..

Que filmes Hd já tenho com a Ps3.. Para armazenamento tenho 320 Gb e externos de 250 e outro de 160 Gb... Chegam bem.. Acompanhados de dvd dl [9 Gb] se necessario e que saiem mais baratos..
 
Um dos LG (GGC-H20L) já cá vem a caminho de casa.
Finalmente um Hibrido acessivel.

Esta Plextor é bem provavel ser a mesma drive da LG com o nome Plextor escrito aumentando 50X o preço.
 
Tendo em conta que um leitor/gravador de blu-ray anda nos 300 euros, não me parece que este leitor seja uma boa opção se vier a um preço mais alto que este. Tudo aponta para que o HD-DVD neste momento esteja condenado.
 
quando uma cena destas (leitor de Blu-ray e HD-DVD + Gravador de DVD) estiver a 100€ eu compro.

não preciso de gravador superior ao DVD.

um leitor de alta definição para ver uns filmes é sempre bom...

e assim aposto sempre no formato vencedor!
