It's an HD-DVD player (oh no it's not!)
We picked up a copy of Digital Life today, one of those ad inserts you find in magazines, and saw an HP HD-DVD drive, the HD100, on sale.
Amusingly this drive has done the rounds on nearly every big technology website in the last five months and none of them have picked up on the fact that there is something very wrong with the image.
This HD-DVD drive has been obviously been photoshopped because it included a blue light on the front of it with BD written underneath, an abbreviation for Blu-ray disc.
Even HP's own website shows the image as an homage to Blu-ray PC drives getting first to market.
Gaffes aside the HD100 costs £309.20, which is very expensive for a drive that won't write, especially when you consider Microsoft's Xbox360 HD DVD drive is fully PC compatible and sells for £130 inc. VAT.
