ASUS BC-1205PT Blu-ray Combo Drive


Able to write to all DVD formats besides reading BD media, this ASUS drive promises to be a compromise for those who don't require the additional BD writing capabilities, yet hanker for HD content. It was first shown at this year's Computex, where ASUS also had a similar HD DVD drive on show. While the HD DVD version doesn't seem to be available yet, the Blu-ray BC-1205PT is ready for retail and we take a closer look today at this drive.
