They can keep it, seriously who's trying to invest in internal drives at this moment?? Better idea would be to download the movies in hd and watch em, whether it's a pay service or 5 finger internet discount if ya know what I mean :D

A possible market for these drives would be the growing number of amateur and semi-pro videographers who have invested in a high-def, likely AVCHD, videocamera like the Canon HF10. Practically all video editing software suites now include BluRay and AVCHD support.
Not everyone wants to backup everything.

29.99.. sounds a little high. Same price as a pioneer11x.. around 22 would be nice. Not forgetting disks at less than a tenner a throw.(and NOT memorex) which IF I could afford a £400 burner would go nowhere near it. Living on "treasure island" does make one a little cynical.. £=$ unless you are trying to change the paper ;)
Still no outlet for BD films in this town ;) Must be lack of money or interest in the format or something... OOO.. sorry.. I'm wrong... Plumbs have 3 BD films. A couple of disneys and a re-issue of the blue planet.

Don't you mean 10-finger discount?
5-fingers just seems too slow and dangerous...
