    Because if Brokeback Mountain doesn't get released in Blu-ray soon, nuisance_sucks would have to burn his own copy from HD-DVD.

    $95 last week was just a Blu-ray READER. This is a Blu-ray BURNER and HD DVD reader.

    #1 it is not dead yet but TeraDisc is projected to start killing it starting in 2010. Cheaper product to produce, more capcity and supposedly a 50 year shelf life for disc contents. Company called Mempile is producing it.

    Specs and info are here:

    #11, yeah agreed but the part that was interesting is that Hitachi is supposedly bank rolling them.

    Netflix? No thanks. I prefer media that hasn't been trampled on by 15,000 people then delivered to my door in a paper scratches-the-crap-out-of-the-disc sleeve. And their web service is a joke too - with considerable lack of multi channel audio and dismal picture quality.
    Don't get me wrong, it's a truly great service (and cost efficient for sure) if you don't mind its shortfalls, I just wouldn't compare it to Blu-Ray.

    #15, you should save your money and only go to live performances. Much higher resolution.

    Nice price....I got this same drive for $199 about 3 months ago though so it really hasn't dropped at all. Media prices are still a
    Knock Knock.
    Who's there?
    Bacon.
    Bacon who?
    though at $5 a disc for the cheapest ones. Rewritable 50GB discs are still $40 a disc!!
