Haven't they learnt a thing yet?
Don't they know we have a deep recession a month or 2 off of biting
(hard and for the rest of, at least, all next year)?

Between outrageous blank media pricing & laughable burner costs this is just a little more of what they need.
Not.

Way to ensure Blu-ray burning stays a minuscule part of the PC world, guys.

(roll your tongue back into your mouth and try not to crawl so obviously Dave, this is far from 'good news'.
Speed spec is not what is holding BD burner adoption up - as I'm sure you know very well)]]>Nov 28th 2008 12:07PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/28/pioneer-introduces-8x-bdr-s03j-blu-ray-burner/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/28/pioneer-introduces-8x-bdr-s03j-blu-ray-burner/
When BD read/write speeds top out, they will undergo a similar price drop at the top end, just like DVD burners did.

A $399 top end BD drive, will now mean the former top end will fall down in price. Just like CPU models do today.

Now as for the burner itself, if it does dual layer at the same speed at single layer, that is amazing.]]>Nov 29th 2008 12:12AM
