DVD-SVCD Forum of Germany has a discussion thread regarding NEC's 4x DVD+R/2.4x DVD+RW/4x DVD-R/2x DVD-RW/16x CD-R/10x CD-RW optical writer drive.

Quoted:

NEC, for its part, said on Wednesday that it has delayed its planned MultiSpin ND-1100A drive from November to December as it continues tests to ensure compatibility with all DVD-R/-RW discs on the market. Tests of DVD+R/+RW discs have been completed, but there are more DVD-R/-RW media available, and these tests are taking longer, a spokesman said.

The internal multi-format MultiSpin will cost about £249 inc. VAT and will be the first to take advantage of the 4x DVD+R specification, released in early August by the DVD+RW Alliance. It will read DVDs at 12x, faster than Sony's model, will write DVD-R at 4x, DVD-RW at 2x and DVD+RW at 2.4x.


Is it 249 UK Pound including VAT? Considering prices are higher in the UK than in the US, I guess the US price will be somewhere between $250 and $350. With 4x DVD+R write and 12x DVD reading speed, the NEC model will have a good chance of success if it truly comes out by December this year.
