The new drive(model BWU-100A) supports up to 50 GB of data on BD-R (write once) or BD-RE (rewritable) discs or up to four hours of high-definition video using HDV 1080i on a BD-RE 50GB disc.

The full announcement is HERE:
This thing is going to cost about $750 and I'm guessing that the media for it will be at least $20. Not sure if I'm ready to get one of these bad boys yet....
