Blu Ray and HD-DVD?  For 299?  What's the catch?

I think the catch is that it can only burn Blu-ray and normal DVD media.  Which is probably not a big deal since you probably won't be burning HD media anyway.  You can check this out at Fry's.  I saw it for $270 a few days ago.

According to the description, it doesn't burn Blu-Ray either.

I'm more interested in ripping than burning.

299 is a great fucking price!

The description is wrong.  I've seen the box and a quick check on other sites show that it does indeed burn Blu-ray media.

Also, how cool would it be to watch HD movies in 1080P on your monitor.  Sure, you can connect the PS3/360 to your mon also but it's much more of a hassle.
