Is anyone using BD-R's yet? My dual layer DVD back-ups seem flakey soemtimes. Using Verbatim discs, so I don't think that's it.
This announcement sounds like they were in the works with this product before the format war was declared dead. Why not release it and make some money back on it?

360euros+vat....dont think so buffalo...
Until we see better prices not only to recorders but to empty discs too, all this IMO is useless.
An empty DL BD disc cost's most than to buy the original copy of a Movie.

but dudes - this is exactly how dvd-r machines started - don´t you all remember when dvd recorders fist came out and started selling for about $ 2000 ? as production increases and competition begins,production will increaae and prices will drop on the hardware side closely followed by media prices dropping. i can still remember in 2003 buying a crappy Philips dvd RW for about 10 dollars !!!
Patience is all that is needed - it won´t happen overnight but it will come.

I'll hang out and eagerly wait a drastic price drop before investing in one of these next-gen burners.

Tick-tock.
