I think they are over-reaching on this Slashdot article. Far cheaper to get the lasers themselves then getting a player to hack. There is no difference between the Blu-ray laser and HD-DVD, not one you can see anyway. Might as well hack a cheap 360 add-on.

Yes you read that headline correctly. Wicked Lasers did the unthinkable. They took the sparse blue laser diodes used in Blu-ray Disc drives and made a cool Laser gadget out of it called Sonar. ...

"Wicked Lasers has done the unthinkable. They took the sparse blue laser diodes used in Blu-ray Disc drives and are making cool laser gadgets out of them, called Sonar. You can own one of these very limited edition lasers for $1,999.99. The price is that high because Wicked Lasers buys Blu-ray Disc players and removes the Blu-ray diode for the Sonar laser."

So, what do those Sonar Blue-ray lasers do?

I'm guessing the same as the Red laser pointers, only in Blue, or should that be Blu!

I'm just waiting for Jeff® to post here.

It is a laser pointer and I wonder how the BDA will react to this company slapping the Blu-ray logo on it.

2K for laser pointer?
