Thats interesting, but also no chance in hell it has anything to do with the Olympics. i think this move came from above, hopefully this well flood the market driving down the cost of blank blue-ray media.

Great but even if you increase blu-ray recordable media output the drives are still to expensive for anyone to afford why spend 200.00 for a blu-ray recorder then spend 19.99 per disk for a blu-ray disk i am sorry to say say i can get 100 DVD-R's for 14.99 and a drive for 50.00 if blu-ray cannot make it cheaper not interrested.
