oooh organic... what does that mean? does it mean that its cheaper than the regular inorganic one, if so why don't they make all blu-ray organic. that should help lower the cost and make more appealing to buy for potential buyers.

READ BELOW SONY PDF: Operating Instructions:
http://www.iq.sony.com/srvs/DocsConnect/...ualid=99519&DL=
and lookup "This player can play the following discs and files" and then look at "Examples of discs that the player cannot play" and you will see at the top BD-REs/BD-Rs, neither will it play DVD-RW, DVD-R film backups with stripped css or restructuring or without region coding!
The PS3 can play BD-R according to the box. Also I can play all of my backup DVDs on it.
yes the ps3 can use BD-r media and DVD-r/+r but only pal content (for europe ect ntsc for the usa) not ntsc videos, and the ps3 is still region locked for blu-ray playback.

No mention of the cost. This would be pretty awesome for storage, depending on the cost. I would personally greatly benefit from being able to consolidate 11 single layer data DVD's with a single dual layer BR disc. I would pay up to $5 for a dual layer BR disc, but not more than that.
Regarding the organic material, wasn't there an article not too long ago about organic BR discs growing fungus and mold?

with 2x blu-ray drives how long do you want to be either burning data to it or getting 50gig's from it?
if you want a data backup solution with more than 50gig's i'd recommend purchasing a hard drive as it will be cheaper than even a single BD-R disc or if you have a lot of data, like server size maybe tape would be a far better option.
BD-R is a useless backup solution because of price and speed!

Speed will eventually increase. This is the same argument that was made a few years ago when DL media was only 2X. The whole point of using it to backup data is so that I can free up hard drive space. Hard drives fail. I've had my bad experiences. Data I've burned onto discs 6 years ago is still there. My data is important to me, but not so important that would pay money for a RAID setup. I wouldn't use a DL disc now to backup data because of the cost differential compared to a SL disc. But if with BR, the increase in storage is a much greater jump.

How about SL BD's? You think that will go over the $5 mark?

This all sounds good and all. However i think ill wait for the burners to pick up some more speed 4x is good however if i wanted to data backups from a server and had a lot of data i did not want to take up this much time.

Ya 4x is all I need. It's like the safe zone for DVD burning. You know it's gonna work when burning at that speed plus that isn't too slow, or not as unbearable as 1-2x :P

Thats all very well for 5gig's but 50gig is another matter.
