Looks like it will only burn +r dual layer dvds.

Any idea when dual layer -r's will be available???

I use -r media in all my stuff. xbox, ps2, dvd player. my xbox and ps2 both hate +r media

judging from the dual layer article on anandtech a couple days ago it doesn't look like the media will be readily available for a while. If i had to make a guess, I'd say definitely at least a couple of months before you find name-brand media at a reasonable price.

+R would probably work fine if you burn them with DVD-ROM bitsetting (possible with non-crap writers).
For -R DL you'll have to wait until the end of the year or early next year and there is certainly no guarantee it will work better than +R DL.
