They teased us with it at CES a few months ago, and now it's putting out at Tiger Direct: the Pioneer BDR-101A Blu-ray burner is now on sale for $999. That's right, it's prom night for the Blu-ray drive that can dance with BD-R and BD-RE discs, as well as DVD+R and DVD-R discs.
So if you're made of money, go ahead and spend a grand on the burner and a fortune for the blank disks, and feel like a dope nine months later when the burners are selling for $99 at Wal-Mart.
