How cool is this Sony drive mechanism?

PC World called it one of their "Best Buy" products, and the buzz says with this multi-format drive DVD burning and authoring finally will hit the mainstream. This drive ushered in the combo DVD±R/±RW drives FirewireDirect now specializes in and the rest of the industry is trying to catch up to....

The New
UltraBURN II Plus
DVD±R/±RW Drive 

Works with every kind of DVD media, and CDs too. This Sony mechanism was the first to bridge the media divide by making it possible to burn all kinds of media.

If you're unsure which DVD formats will someday rule, this drive removed the guesswork by bringing all the popular formats into a single drive available in FireWire, FireWire/USB 2.0 combo or as an internal drive for installation in your Mac or Windows desktop.

Built by FirewireDirect from the latest award winning and groundbreaking Sony DVD burning technology, the UltraBURN Plus DVD±R/±RW burns DVD-R/-RW, DVD+RW/+R, and even CD-R/CD-RW disks.

Support for all these DVD (and CD) formats means you have optimal compatibility with your playback hardware and can make discs that will play on most home DVD players.
