I was surprised when I looked at BD blank media recently (25GB, of course). They're actually starting to get close to HDD price per gig. 2X BD-Rs are going for $9-10 apiece at newegg, and 4X are $12 apiece. If you like to buy in bulk you can get a RiData 25 pack for $199 ($8 apiece). I wouldn't have thought the demand would be high enough to start pushing prices down like this, but I guess it must be. I'm still waiting on a burner for myself, though.
