SBC-04B1S-U allows you to charge its power from USB ports on your computer. The SBC-04B1S-U isn't fancy stuff -- 4.8x maximumBlu-raydisc reading, 8x DVD burning, a USB 2.0 connection, and Windows (but not OS X) compatibility. The bright blue 'X' on the side also flashes and has a dedicated app just to control its brightness. None of this will help, of course, when the strobing 'X' attracts the attention of the entire underground world of paranormal conspiracy theorists to your bedroom as if you threw up the alien Bat-Signal -- but, you know, whatever. There's no word yet on pricing or availability for this attractive, skinny dude.Read Article on ASUS unleashes USB 2.0 Blu-ray drive -- government denies knowledge» Can 3D save Blu-ray?28 April 2009 (zdnet.com)Blu-ray’s problem is simple: Blu-ray’s crisper picture isn’t enough for recession-whacked consumers. Yet the demo I saw last week in Las Vegas was something else: beautifully detailed and very watchable high def 3D. That’s a change you’d pay for. Panasonic is pushing hard.The demo at this year’s National Association of Broadcasters trade show was one of many 3D announcements and products. But it was the most important because in our consumer-driven economy it is the home theater, not the movie theater, that will make or break the latest 3D push. I’ve played with a number of 3D displays over the years and the Panasonic blew the rest away. Other than some distortion when a leg or arm got too close the camera, the picture was the closest thing to real live I’ve seen on a display.

The other issue, only hardocre action movies need bluray. You think Bridges of Madison County will be THAT much better in SUPER CLEAR HD? No. Transformers or Star Trek, sure. So it's a niche tech and it only satisfies a niche movie type.

Exactly.
Research firm challenges supposed popularity of HD-DVD format
I like my HD-DVD
good--identical--to BluRay. But the technology was fundamentally less
expensive. The players cost less. The disks cost less to make (and could
be made compatible with regular DVD, simplifying inventory). It was
ready for market.
Sony loved making royalties from licensing CD technology. They missed
the boat on DVD and they were bound and determined to win the HD
war. It was never about the superiority of their technology (Sony hasn't
made superior technology in a decade). It was simply about licensing
revenue. A bitter victory, eh?
