I-O Data Joins Blu-Ray Burner Party

[Dave]

Good thing I-O Data will have just what I need once February rolls around. Granted, its burner doesn't do anything that other such burners don't already do (its 2X BD-R/BD-RE read/write speed is in line with other manufacturers' efforts), but it is slightly less expensive than the big guys' offerings.

yea that's right plextor..but..but where is the HD-DVD plextor drive....

$712 -is way over expensive froo such a drive at this given time !
If we really want to see Blku-ray win the war in undisputed manner then prices should faal each month about 30-50$ fro nburner and thsi summer it should be around 350$ for PC burner for all major producers.
So far this trend doesn't go along ...

any burner is 4x speed? because when your writing 50 gigs at 2x speed it seems so sssssssssllllllllllloooooooooowwwwww just because of how data there is
