Lite-On one of the world's largest optical disk firms announced it will be releasing Blu-ray disc drives in the UK this August.
The firm said production kicks off this summer, with its first drive, the LH-2B1S, set to arrive in the UK in August 2006. The drive will be backwards compatible with DVD+/_R(W) media and CD-R(W) media.
Lite-On reckons it can stuff 50GB of data on a double-layer disc or 25GB on a single layer Blu-ray disc.
It looks like Blu-ray fever has stuck.
