Does anyone have any predictions as far as how soon Blu Ray burning will become affordable?
I'm not rich enough to be dropping $10 per 25gb disc.
Seeing as how quality DVD+rs still run around $0.30 per disc, I probably shouldn't expect much any time soon, yeah? |

Blu-ray hasn't been adopted as predicted.
It could be dead before it even gets started if the powers that be don't make it affordable and something that can totally just slip into that space below the TV where the VCR used to be and the DVD player is now.
I would go out and buy a bluray player tomorrow if it was $80 and recordable media was less than a dollar each. Like DVD became a few years ago. |

It's really interesting to me how slow people are to adapt to Blu-Ray. Every time I visit an electronics store these days, it seems like a ton of people are buying HDTVs only to go home and watch stretched out DVDs. What's the point?
Although I don't really remember how long it took before DVDs really caught on.
If Blu Ray fails, what do you think would take over? I was under the impression that it would be the next big thing. Come on people, get with the times so my expenses go down! |

Blu-ray has been adopted. Cripes, have you seen the rows of blu-rays for sale in stores back home in the USA lately? The studios are in support of it for copy protection reasons. Some older blu-rays are now $9.99 in stores back home. Same or less on E-bay. Amazon is the best place to buy, though. Korea just sucks on blu-ray adoption because most larger studios have pulled out of here due to illegal copying issues.
Forget blu-ray burning for now. They don't want you to burn copies. It's far cheaper to buy a hard drive and back up to that. |

| That's so true for data. Then for movies you get a media player that plays blue ray rips and stream to it from the main pc. |
