Sony release BWU-200S 4x Blu-Ray disc writer for your PC

October 9th, 2007

Sony BWU-200S
Looking for a 4x Blu-Ray writer that still writes to DVD at 16x? Then the Sony BWU-200S writer should be the latest upgrade to your PC build. It sports the ability to write to Blu-Ray discs (both BD-R and BD-RE) at a speed of 4x enabling you to pack 50 GB of hi def entertainment onto a BR disc in around 45 minutes. Still using standard def too? Well it’ll also make your old DVD 16x writer redundant as it can slap the 4.7 GB DVD standard onto a disc at the same speed as your standalone unit and can also handle dual layer discs at the same speed.

A space-saver with increased speed? What’s the catch? A US$600 price tag. Actually that doesn’t seem too unreasonable to me, but expect that price tag to be a lot smaller in oh say around six months time, but can you wait that long? ;)
