Toshiba, one of the big backers of HD-DVD media, recently announced that they will be producing an internal HD-DVD drive for PCs. Currently it is slated to accept both single and dual-layer HD formats as well as DVD-Rs and regular old CDs. Not too shabby! It will connect via a SATA connection which is great to hear. No more IDE cables! Unfortunately, no approximate release date has been announced nor has the company released any information in regards to pricing. Considering the home HD-DVD players are still in the $400+ range, I'd say this wouldn't be too far off upon its release.
Blu-Ray discs have already enjoyed some exposure in the PC market I believe. Although they are still very expensive ;)
