    My, My, this thread has taken a strange turn,,(not that that's bad)...

    Blu-Ray burners at Newegg; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...ubCategory=600&N=2010100600&SpeTabStoreType=1

    And this price on a single layer write only disc; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817131075 is just plain stupid. If you do the math 3 of these almost equals buying a hundred DVD blanks; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817131075 ! Not to mention you can get free shipping on the DVDs from time to time.

    You wouldn't think the manufacturers would be stupid enough to agonize out loud, or even wonder why there's, "slow adoption".

    for everyone complaining about Bluray prices, just go to amazon or ebay or something. I have just over 20 right now, when it was relatively new I was paying around 25-30 for a few, then went online and have gotten most for 10-15 online, which was cheaper than the same movie on DVD in the store, and I have gotten my last few new, for under 10 bucks.
    of course that doesnt beat best buys 3.99 and 4.99 dvd sales...

    its not the disc (movie) prices that everyone seems to be complaining about its the players

    But yeah the blank blu-ray media is a tad expensive like 10+ per disc

    I meant BD Burner, my mistake which you could logically make that conclusion. I paid $25 for my DVD burners (Samsung) and they work excellent.

    Here is a link for the BD Burner

    I think this ones has expired but I see them all the time for around that price.

    As for blanks they are under $3 for 25GB
