External Buffalo drive does Blu-ray and HD DVD

Buffalo's new drive doesn't make you pick a winner in the high-def disc format war, and it doesn't make you open up your PC's case to install it. The Buffalo MediaStation Blu-ray HD DVD (BRHC-6316U2) drive is an external USB combo drive that reads and writes Blu-ray discs and reads HD DVD discs. Unfortunately, Buffalo made no mention of eSATA or FireWire, so you're stuck with USB 2.0. It'll cost $649 when it starts shipping later this quarter.

Prior to joining CNET, he worked for PC Magazine. When not writing about computers and wrestling with their shipping boxes, he likes shooting with his Nikon D50 camera. Matt is also skilled with a tape gun. E-mail Matt.

Sounds nice. Just wish it was a little more reasonably priced.

Not bad, but I just bought an LG GGW-H20L Blu-Ray/HD-DVD drive with 6X speed Blu-Ray burning for $499.00. Yes it is an internal drive, but I bought a simple external drive kit (USB 2.0) for another $35.00!

What are the specs on this?
