Today, Pioneer introduced their new top of the line Blu-ray PC drive, the BDR-202.

The burner can write at 4x speed for write-once discs and 2x for rewritable Blu-ray recordable discs.

According to Pioneer, the drive also includes extra measures to increase stability for better writing.Ultra DRA cancels all drive shaking during the burning process and adds a liquid equalizer during playback.

The burner can also write DVDs at 12x speed and CDs at 24x.

The BDR-202 is already available in Europe for the equivalent of $675 USD but a US version bundled with CyberLink BD should be available in the US soon with a retail price of $650.
