Combined DVD Burners Coming Soon

Posted by michael on from the so-many-standards-to-choose-from dept.

MonMotha writes "Sony recently announced plans to make a DVD burner capable of supporting both the - (DVD-R and DVD-RW) as well as the + (DVD+RW and DVD+R) standards for burnable DVD media. This move could spur the adoption of DVD burners, which have been poor sellers so far, partly due to the lack of a single standard for writable and rewritable media. The drive will not support the older DVD-RAM due to it's plastic casing."

    We don't need this! Why would anyone ever need to carry more than 1.44mb around with them? ;)

    Will they call it... a CD±RW drive?
