According to DigiTimes, Blu-ray combo drives will be mainstream in PCs next year and Blu-ray burners will go mainstream in 2011. Obviously this is just a prediction but Lite-On has a pretty good track record on stuff like this and besides we'll know soon enough, 2009 is right around the corner. Despite the impact of the global financial crisis on demand for PC-use BD drives, global volumes of BD-ROM drives, BD Combo drives and BD burners together increased from 700,000 units in 2007 to 1.7 million units in the first half of 2008, Lite-On IT cited statistics as indicating.
