What's coming on the DVD drive front?

[BCinSC]

I know combo drives are hitting th market now, but otherwise, are there big changes coming that would negate the purchase of a DVD-ROM drive today?

Recordable DVD is coming out that is in the standard DVD format. But I think hollywood may try and squash that.

dvd audio drives

there should be dvd / video & audio coming which is same amount of music but higher recording rates... how much better can it get ? better then a CD ...

DVD audio can be played on existing DVD drives, for now anyway. All DVD audio discs have a DD 5.1 mix. Soon, though, it will be proprietary.
