Is blue ray burners/media out yet? I heard you can store 20 gigs on a single layer and 50 on dual layer...If there not out yet , whats the planned release date?

Well, according to Computer Gaming World, the technology is still in the final stages of development. And it's a collaborative effort between Apple, Dell, LG and various other companies, so a wide range of compatibility. Furthermore, small correction on the capacities...
1 Layer - 27 gigs
2 Layers - up to 54 gigs
Multi-layer - up to 200 gigs
Plus it also is projected to increase the read time on drives from the current 11Mbps to 54Mbps!!! This is going to be great!

Yea, it's going to be real great , but think of the price of the media and drives.....just normal dual layer disc cost about 6 bucks a disk , the price is prolly going to be unreal...
thanks for the info

I think it's already available in Japan (as usual). I have lived there for five years and I can tell you that you never know what technology is before you come to Japan.

correct, they are out in japan, they are/will be used to replace the vcr, to record video from a tv straight to br-dvds, if u want one u cna buy one, tons of companies already have them out like sony, panasonic etc.. although it will cost u around $5,000 for one! lol

yes at first the price of blue ray will be high but after a few years will problebly see a large price drop. Look at DVD-R prices now, back when DVD drives first came out a DVD-R cost $50 each and look now going as low as .20 each.

Stay away from Blu-Ray. It's transfer rate is only like 35.5 mbps, where as you have Dual-Layer, with 16x it is 177.7 mbps. Plus with the multi-layer, you can get a lot more data on a disc.

Yes, I concur, check my post again about the read/write speeds of the drives. Plus, the 54Mbps is only on the 1x speed, what's to say that they won't come out with 4x right after that, and that's 215 Mbps, already faster than that 16x drive...
