Re: Yep!
said by Goober  :said by dadkins :But people are forgetting, unless you do some wild compression, no one is going to want to upload(several times?) 19~50GB per BD! Hell! I dread even thinking about DOWNLOADING those kind of file sizes! Uploading? Not likely! No kidding! People should just pony up the few bucks for the DVDs. $24.99 - $29.99 each is acceptable for a BD movie.
Hell! Netlix has some BD titles.
Blanks sure need to come down in price though.

| said by dadkins :Blanks sure need to come down in price though. True. But, media prices seem to fall fairly quickly nowadays. I can remember not too long ago when you could hardly even find DL media and even if you could, it was $5-7-10 per disk. |

| The BD RE(rewritables) in DL are a wallet killer!
But you can cram alot of data on a single disc!
The "Single Write" DLs aren't that expensive... but they aint cheap either.

Not just blanks. I'd like to be able to easily afford a BD Burner! 25GB available for backing up my machine? Yeah, I'll take that!
Somebody wake me up when NEC has a BD burner for $40. . . |
