You can get BluRay if you really want it, just it is coming from Japan. As for value, last time i looked a disc will set you back $20 and a machince will set you back over $1000. My information might be slightly dated, but i doubt you will have any use for it. The HDD/blue laser war is raging and once there is a winner of sorts, then we'll see it coming to the UK. Blue laser is not backward compatible either, but we have seen some examples of machines holding dual lasers.

At the minute, Dual Layer Burning is what we have as a source of back-up/imaging/etc for the general public.

Hd DVD and Blue Ray consortium are no longer raging war and haven't done so for a while now. They are actually trying to come to some sort of agreement so all systems may support both or some other arrangement. Dual Layer disks are still high right now and many wont play in consumer dvd players and some won't even play in non dual layer dvd drives. Plus dvds will not become extinct anytime soon.

I really want to wait until the Dual layer technology improves and matures and the price for disks come down but all the 16X drives are dual layer so I might as well get one now especially since you can get some from newegg.com for under 50 dollars now and that includes free or low cost shipping. I wanted to get two to install in my computer so I could burn cd's of my band's music but found out it would take almost 84% of my cpu resources if I just had both burning at 4X speed. Then I wanted to get a duplicator machine but discovered that they use the same burners that consumers could by but have some type of proc to run them all. So I am trying to find a way where I could build my own DVD duplicator machine and save more than 300dollars then if I bought the dvd duplicator machine already stocked with what I am looking for. Again this is all for burning music of my band. But I am coming across a snag and really could use some help on building my own dvd duplicator machine.
