The much awaited Blu-ray recorder is now out by BenQ, after the many HD-DVD burners which has been declared it is quite on the Blu-ray front.The BenQ BW1000 will be available from next month (august) and will set you back approximately $1000.

BenQ is one of the leading Dvd-rw burner manufacturer with its leading Lightscribe and other models. This burner will write BD-R discs at 2x speed, but the down side is that it will write Dvds at max 12x and CD-Rs at 32x.

For those who can afford to buy the discs and spend a grand on the burner it's something that will make your 'Box' proud. You can ofcourse store 5 times more data than on a normal dual layer Dvd.
