You can view the details on how the DVD Burner manages to imprint its image / design / colour onto the CD/DVD HERE - it's just amazing the technology have a read :D
 
I've been seeing the HP add about that for quite a while now.

Are you sure it wasn't released much earlier in the US ?
 
Yeah, it was released earlier in the US, for my friend has one in his HP. Pretty much works how I thought it would.
