This is a read only drive, it does not write CDs or DVDs (or Blu-ray for that matter)
even if it burned blu-rays, the media's expensive as hell anyways
can't wait for it to come down in price though
Superbizz worst company to do business with.
These BD- Drives have pretty odd pricing.
Just a BD/DVD/CD playing drive like this is available for $50-55 now.
A DVD/CD Burner standalone drive is now anywhere from $17-25.
However, a drive that combines the above two functionalities is almost $100.00
It is pretty messed up if buying them SEPARATE is the noticeably CHEAPER option. WTF.
"F" blu-ray...Why even bother...By the time you upgrade all your movies there will be another format or no format (digital download) I hope Sony is getting their money back for buying the format.
#2 Fry's (in store)has maxell blank BD-R for $1.34 each in a 15 pack. (limit one pack per customer), so the price is pretty good. Consider DVD blanks are about 25-35 cents and hold 1/5th the data, the BD-R is about the same price per GB.
^ Price per GB means little. HDD holds more per $, but for that matter the best deal would be the spindles of free after rebate CDRs. Besides, if you have to drive to store x to get price y, it's hardly comparable to widespread internet pricing on DVDR.
