DVDRW885K

Philips has introduced the first PC DVD+R drive that can burn to a double-layer, single-sided disc. The burner, dubbed the DVDRW885K, will record the new 8.5GB discs at a 8x speed

The DVDRW885K will debut in April 2004 in European markets for about 169 euros (around US $205.) No word on a release for American markets, but it is sure to happen soon. Philips will also release a 16x version of the same drive around July.

Now the quesiton is, what will these fancy new 8.5GB discs cost?
