No problem.

Don't forget, they FIXED that problem and re-issued the ISOs with the fix on it. No need to worry at all. Also, DVD roms weren't affected, I believe. The page with known shitty drives will tell you. LG finally released a fix for the firmware anyhow. If you do encounter problems, you won't have to shell out another $30 for a new DVD rom.
