Blu-Ray discs at BB - Blu-ray Forum

Just thought it was pretty cool, I was at BB.com and looking for blank media. The first page that popped up was blank BD-R! Kinda surprised me, but very cool!

I would ask you how much are they, but I can easily look myself. I wondering how long it will be before BB will start offering 50 BD bundles. I look forward to that day!

They are overpriced on the Blu-ray movies and can only imagine what they are on the BD-R media.

The 50 gigs are still really pricey, we have some for testing purposes at work, but we only use them when its absolutely necessary. A cake box of 50 50gig blu-ray at today's prices would potentially cost Several Hundred Dollars. Its probably why we haven't seen them yet 8P, but I agree should be a day worth reckoning. I too cannot wait to burn utterly ridiculous amounts of Data onto single disks.

And thats just for the 25gig cakebox... so essentially we're talking about over a grand and a half for the 50 gig cakebox

1250GB for that price isn't too bad. You would pay just as much for an external HDD for 1.2 terabyte. But I agree, I can't wait till 50GB BD's are the norm.

Oh Definitely! As far as I can see it, Optical will eventually take over magnetic based hard-drives as the primary method for data retention. In fact, I think all processing and computing with eventually become light based, one only has to look at the P in DLP, which can be seen as the Grandfather of Tomorrows Processors.
