If you don't already get their newsletter, sign up to get the promo codes.. Looks like Bluray is getting down to earth. I paid $180 for my first CD drive, got no problem paying this for the BD drive.

Oh yeah, it comes with a free DVD burner..

Wow, that's actually somewhat affordable!

Elif Tymes · 01-24-08, 08:59 PM

I'll wait till I can get them for $30-50 a pop. Same as I did with DVD drive

There are burners and blank media available already... they just aren't affordable. It'll take years for that to change.

Yeah, I guess in a few years these prices will be down quite a bit. I think I paid something like $150 for my first CD Burner. I believe it was a 4x or 8x BTC refurb crapmaster that made a lot of coasters. We've come a long ways.

doublejack · 01-25-08, 09:08 AM

I paid $300 for my first CD-ROM, and $600 for my first burner. Those were in like 1991 and 1994 respectively. The burner was a Ricoh external SCSI and was a complete POS. 3 times out of 4 I'd be trying to burn a disc and it would generate a write error, and I'd turn a then $3 blank CD into a coaster. Plus, it was only 1x so it took forever.

We have come a long way indeed.

Me too Realgun. I got a Mitsumi 2x from some guy from a local BBS. He came to the theatre where I worked, picked up the money, then a couple days later came by with the drive

It was a killer price at the time, came with a controller card and everything. Worked awesome in my Tandy 1000 TX.
