but bluray writers have halved in price over the last 12 months, so won't be long before they're as cheap as dvd writers![]()
...and how long will that be? Next year.
I think not.
I can get a decent DVD burner for $30. BR burners are about $300.
I've seen BD-R SL for $10 and BD-RE SL for $14.
I can get DVD+/-R SL for 20 cents.
Tell me how long again?
Hopefully write speed will eventually be able to go past 12x.
At the current 2x-6x speeds, burning BRs will absolutely suck. Hell, it will suck at 12x.
Needless to say, I wouldn't want a BR burner if it dropped to $200 if it's only going to at 2x.

im not mad cuz bluray truly does just have better quality
but i hate sony, so much, and it all just vindicates the ps3. it sucks. sorta.
i just think that toshiba gives up HD DVD a bit early.
$ony will be able to raise the price they want.
ya, blu-ray is better technology. the reason they won is they have outsourced blu-ray to everyone
I made the same mistake when DVD writers first came out.
BD recording speeds are really fast, 1X of Blu ray is 4.5 MB/s , so 6x is quite fast, in comparison 1X of DVD recording is 1.32 MB/s.
check out these tables -

Blu Ray - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu_ray#Recording_speed [The times are for a dual layer disc]
