LiteOn announced the launch of iHES206, a recorder internal drive for PC, the format 5 1 / 4 inches, which adopts the format combo: able to read Blu-ray with a maximum speed of 6x, it is also able to burn the DVD 22x. Compatible with LightScribe technology, it accepts the Blu-ray double layer (reading at 4x max), rewritable DVD (burning 6x) and DVD-RAM (12x). IHES206 availability is scheduled for November 2008 at a recommended retail price of 139 euros.

In parallel, Lite-On announced the release of four new 22x DVD recorders that incorporate a technology called "SmartErase", aimed at erasing definitive data on a disc. It is, according to the manufacturer, to fill the surface of the disc random characters to ensure that the information contained in the latter will no longer be accessible.

they are not serious with their 139 euros for a single Blu-ray DVD.
The Blu-ray LG is to 156 euros and 158 on Cdiscount Montgallet Street.
A BDR combo drive is 100 euros max and again by November prices have fallen!

we must not confuse public price and actual price especially on shopping sites on the web
the public price of Blu-ray recorders LG is still above 300 € so it is likely that we will find the LiteOn much cheaper on the web
