    Yeah considering this article isn't that old [gizmodo.com]
    I agree with Chris Langro that there should be mention of the V10 as well.

    Can anyone translate those to english please?

    Like, how long to burn a blu-ray in 8x and 12x?

    I want one of those, but still waiting for the prices to drop, specially the blank disc prices.

    Will anyone ever need to burn a blue ray. I back up on external HD's that are much cheaper. I stream all my HD movies from my Media center. Isn't the industry moving away from disks altogether

    @The Analrapist: Half Analyst Half Therapist: It'll be good for people in commercials, television and film to give their clients a BR screener of their material. Other than that, unless you're making your own home movies to play on your blueray player, it won't be a large market like CDs and DVDs were. Still a good business to get into, but not the same large scale.

    Am I the only one that's tired of the nX speeds on optical drives. Twelve times WHAT? A 12x Blu-ray drive must be slower than my old 52x CD-Rom drive right? Why not just list the sustained read and write speeds in mb/s?

    @Perk-i: its pretty annoying. whats even better is the class system used for SD cards. apparently, everything uses a different multiplier. i dont know how they set it. for blu-ray, 1x = 4.5MB/s

    @Perk-i: The concept of nX marketing is by the same genius who came up with the eject and load button under the disc tray. I should send that person a fruit basket annually to show my appreciation.

    Now, I'm no engineer, but I'm pretty sure 12x is equivalent to 1.5 * the speed of an 8x drive. Calling that a slight increase is like saying that someone who is 9'6" is only slightly taller than myself, being 6'4".

    Two problems:

    The cost of the burners (which still are over $200) and the cost/availability of the media (ie: high and rare).

    When you can get a DVD burner for $26 and 4.2GB for $0.25 or less... it's hard to justify the extra cost.

    I really struggle with the speeds of Blu-ray and DVD burners. It seems like I have had nothing but problems with all DVD's I burn at high rates of speed. I can't say the same for blu-ray as I have only burned at 1x and 2x (though had the capability to burn 4x). I hate to see these faster products come out but then take away future life of what many call "archival". Speed is great but make sure you understand the trade-offs...

    @andrelix: I was slowing down the burning process on DVD's because I was getting a lot of pretty coasters for coffee mugs until I got a new system that could handle the faster write speeds. Not to say that is the issue you are facing, but thought I would pass along that useless information.

    I have a question, just one question.

    Why do you need a blu-ray burner in your PC?

    @Mike Zuniga: That was Unexpected: You know, about an hour ago I was looking at blu-ray burners and then suddenly thought: "When would I ever, ever need to burn a blu-ray disk?" The answer was, of course, never. So I'm thinking at this point I'll just get a bd reader.

    "As we know, Avatar is based off the animation series".

    I couldn't detect any hint of kidding in the pitchman's dialog, although the guy recording seemed to see the absurdity.

    I'm tired of these boxes supporting some services and not others (IE Netflix but not Hulu, Amazon but not Netflix etc.). If I could get everything mentioned in the article (Including the DVR and cable card support) and access to services like ESPN 360, which my local cable company blocks, I'd happily drop serious cash on the box and make up for it by canceling my cable subscription.
