When will the prices for Blu-ray disk writers come down?
Should I stay with my regular dvd player/writer?

Thank you;
David
 
My guess is about 2 years to get under 200 dollars and maybe 3 or 4 for
under 100.
Look at HDTV's, they have been out for awhile and are still expensive but
they have come down in price.

Like DVD writers and CD writers before them, they will come down. However,
I'm not so sure they will come down at the same sort of speed as the take up
of Blu-Ray seems to be somewhat slower than the take up of DVD. This is not
helped by the format war between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD. Blu-Ray does seem to
be gaining ground at present, particularly as another film distributor (20th
Century Fox??) has just switched sides.

Microsoft are still actively pushing the HD-DVD format at present for 2
reasons.

1. The interactive part of HD-DVD is operated using Microsoft Code (iHD).

2. The interactive part of Blu-Ray is operated by a rival system (Java)

The prices have been declining over the last several months and will
continue to do so. DVD burners used to be over $1000, but now they
are about $30. Something similar will happen with Blu-Ray and HD-DVD
burners.

Also think about media. I can recall a blank Blu-Ray disc was $25 a
year or so ago, now they are about $15 each--a bit expensive. Today a
high quality blank DVD is about 25 cents. Makes sense to sit tight
for another year or so, unless you have a lot of extra money to spend
and want to be cool. There is also some risk of obsolescence,
probably greater with HD-DVD.

Why ask here? What does the price of ANY hardware have to do with the
OS?

Whine elsewhere.

I am not whining. I just wanted to find out what others are thinking about
Blu-ray disk writers. I am thinking about building a new system and I
wanted to make sure that I do not buy a DVD writer only to find out the
Blu-ray writer is the same price a week later. Thanks for yours and others
remarks. I have learned a lot from members who post their questions and
answers here. I value what all of you have to say.

Thank you;

What is it with you? Do you just have **** all else to do in the early
hours of the morning? It might not be so bad if you actually contributed
anything useful to any newsgroup. But you never have, so **** off and leave
everyone else alone.

Just ignore the stupid troll.

He has never contributed anything useful to any newsgroup. He is some self
appointed newsnet nazi who thinks he is the newsgroup administrator (he
isn't). If you ask a question and get helpful answers, then you can safely
ignore the sad little twat.

Doesn't change this fact: It has NOTHING to do with the OS and so it
does NOT belong here.

Grow some thicker skin. Oh, and stop cursing. That's the typical
reaction of an immature brat. A true ADULT uses more subtle ways to
try and put somebody down.

Oh, and one other thing: by telling me to stop posting, YOU are
acting the part of a net-nazi. That makes you know better. Perhaps
you need to do some introspection on that before you reply.

David, ignore the troll who calls himself No Consequence. He thinks he's a
moderator or something, but he's just another anonymous usenet nutcase with
nothing of value to offer. This is a fine place for your question, as
demonstrated by the responses.

DVD writers are really cheap these days. Go for it.

If you do feel this way, you are part of the PROBLEM.

I'm sick of folks with your attitude - I'll do whatever I want and to
hell with the rules of convention.

Has nothing to do with feelings, Mr. Spock. Your position is simply
undefendable with the existing facts.
