Interesting but I am not going to buy an overpriced + format only DVD Burner just to have that feature.

i could see the laser lasting you a few years as well

I can see pirates having a field day.

If it truly only costs an extra $10 as HP claims, I'd drop the extra $10. Would be good for me for audio CDs as I never waste the money on a label on those.

I wonder if you could label a DVD with the CD Burner. If so then that wouldn't be a bad deal.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work with just anything. The CD-R media has to have a special laser sensitive coating on the label side in order for it to work. A DVD would also have to have that coating.

Plus you have to design your label.

Yeah, I just realized that it wouldn't matter since the only DVD discs with this kind of coating would be + format only. :idea:

I figure everybody will have this eventually, and various mfgrs will make the media, in both formats, lowering the cost.

Yeah, if that happens it will definitely be worth it.
