It is for real, I posted a link to another announcement a couple of weeks ago: http://www.murc.ws/forums/showthread.php?threadid=40297

Later I read somewhere that it will probably be released in September, so it is not available for a while. And the price was expected to be something like a Sony DRU-500A(X).

According to this http://www.cdr-info.com/#3644 it is due for release in June.

Just noticed that it says 'for the Japanese territory' but I'm sure I saw this date on LG's German web site too.
