      Hope its good, just ordered one
      Rumours will have it to be upgradeable to dvd-

      make a search for LDW-401S
      here or here and you should get some more info.

      Sounds good

      Well, had a look at some reviews... only drawback is the single format.. DVD+R/rw I'd hate to be stuck with the equivalent of a beta video player.... maybe I should consider a +- compatable drive?

      Cheers..

      Sounds like a good scheme

      +- is the current trend, and IMO the only viable one.

      Well!, its now been confirmed that the LDW-401S uses a dual format chip and that there will be a firmware upgrade(probably unofficial) that will unlock the - support. Fyi

      I was wondering if anyone knew if a hacked firmware had been released or info on how to make it a dual writer??
      The reason I ask is I can get one for £90 and with the release of the official dual format writer been released by Liteon will anyone bother with LDW-401S

      Nothing is available to the public yet.
      But one of the guys over at cdfreaks has flashed his 401s to -R.
