I dunno when it's available, but it will be very soon, since Pioneer has already released firmware updates for their DVD-R drives so that 4X media doesn't destroy the drives.

Mitsui was one of the first contracted to make it, but as we all know, Mitsui is expensive (but very good).

So what is Apple gonna call these "SuperDuperDrive"? And maybe they'll offer a build-to-order option with the new Panasonic DVD-RAM/DVD-RW/DVD-R "SuperDuperDrivePlus" drive, also due for October.
