Delkin announces absurdly overpriced 4x external Blu-ray writer
With Buffalo just announcing an external 8x Blu-ray burner for a manageable $399.99, we're left to wonder who in their right mind will even give this heap a second glance. Delkin has proudly revealed a BD writer that's half as quick and more expensive, with its latest toasting BD-Rs at just 4x and putting a $549.99 hole in your wallet. A real head-scratcher, huh?

Is there much of a market for these while BD blanks still hover around the $10-20 each mark? I wouldn't be surprised if "Delkin" (did Belkin merge with Dell?!) are just making this to keep their hand in.

Not only overpriced, but I think it's kinda fugly.

we work in a capitalistic market (kinda...700B bailout on the horizon?) surely, they wont sell any, then they'll realize they're boo boo.
On a side note, buffalo, lite on, sony, anyone...anyone who can make me a BD-ROM/R/RE device that burns at 8x+ for less than 160 around the holiday season will def get my cash. I got a hell of a lot of TV show seasons that i need to archive
