    HP First to Add High-def Dual Format Drive in its PCs

    HP is breaking new grounds today by becoming the first PC vendor to swing both ways in the high-def DVD wars.

    The company's new PCs (which will be part of the Pavilion Media Center m8010y series and d4890y series) will feature a Blu-ray/HD DVD combo drive and also come with a GeForce 8800 video card. ATI's TV Wonder Digital Cable Tuner will also be bundled, and because it has a CableCard slot, that means turning your PC into a quick and dirty PVR shouldn't be a hassle. No word on pricing yet, though we can't imagine the dual drive option coming in cheap, so you better start saving now. – Louis Ramirez

    UPDATE: The m8010y will begin at $929 while the d4890y will start at $949. No word yet on how much the hybrid drive will set you back.
