LG Blu-Ray, HD-DVD combo drive out and cheap!

I thought some of you might be interested in knowing that LG has just released a drive in North America (I believe it has been available in Japan since August) that reads BD, HD-DVD, and burns DVD and CD (not to mention LightScribe) for under $300 . I just got mine yesterday and couldn't be happier; saw my BD copy of Casino Royale followed by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in HD-DVD, all from the same drive. I bought mine from NCIX(US), which has so far been the only distributor I've been able to find carrying the product. Apparently stock is pretty limited because they've already sold out, but they apparently have another shippment coming in soon.

This little piece of machinery has really opened up my Home Theater experience, so thought it was worth mentioning.

I don't see it on the NCIX site, only one I saw is a LG Blu-ray drive and its $626.81. I think the one you are talking about is the GGW-H10N, but I don't see anywhere for $300. Please provide the link where you bought it from.

Sorry for the delay Mayamaniac, here's the link, although it is indeed unavailable at the moment.
http://www.ncixus.com/products/index.php?sku=26553

(I wasn't sure if it was ok to post a link to a product page here: did not want to make the forum gods angry)

According to the forum posts at the bottom of the product page, they sold out pretty quickly, so you may just have to stake out their site until it becomes available again.

Good luck and let me know if you need any more info.
