According to PCWorld, Hewlett-Packard has announced that it will be one of the first major PC builders to sell a system including a hybrid HD drive.

The company says the intended drive will be the LG GG-W-H10N, known as the "Super Multi Blue."

The drive can read both Blu ray and HD DVD discs but cannot write HD DVD. The drive can write to CD, DVD and Blu ray, the latter at only 2x speed.

HP says the drive will be available in HP systems within six weeks and also promises that the computers with the drive will have HDMIoutputs, and use HDCP-compliant GeForce 8000-series video cards.

Sorry, I just now saw another recent post on this.

Not really that big of a deal. Its just the LG Super Blue Writer (or whatever the hell they are calling it). The drive has been out since March, and they are just now deciding to use it.

LG could have come up with a better name. That sounds too childish.

I just visited the HP website and they are now offering a combo PC drive that reads BLU-RAY, HD-DVD, DVD, and CD’s. Looks like both formats are going to coexist as long as Universal Studios remains exclusive to the HD-DVD format.
