Just read that one.
My first thoguht is of -yes- once again the average Jo who "just's want's a picture" and buys DVD blanks based on price.
Although at $30 a blank disk ( i know the price will come down ) as compared to $0.34 a blank 4.3GB DVD It may take a while to get it going. It may be great for gear heads like us though.

Quote: | Sony Corp. is increasing its bet on Blu-ray Disc and plans to ditch DVD and use the high-definition video disc format in all future digital video recorders in Japan, the company said Wednesday |
Quote: | The top-of-the-range X90 model will cost around %200,000, the L70 will cost about %180,000 and the T70 and T50 will cost %160,000 and %140,000 respectively, said Sony. They'll be available in Japan from Nov. 8 and are not scheduled for release overseas. |
I'd love to get a dvd or BD recorder with the ability to record or at least tune and pass a HD signal in North America, although not at the greater than $1K prices listed.

You are paying $0.34/disk for 4.3GB? I've been paying $0.25/disk as a high for some time. Are you reporting Canadian prices?
