Hey guys how much does a Blu-ray disc cost?I know there are single-layer(25GB) and dual-layer(50GB) discs,so how much does each cost?
And is it expensive to burn our own Blu-ray?Like getting a Blu-ray burner for the PC,buying the Blu-ray discs,and burning stuff onto it?How much does a Blu-ray burner cost?Don't get me wrong,I just want to store all my HD stuff on the Blu-Ray discs  I'm planning to get a new Blu-Ray player,Samsung BD-C550 soon  Correct me if I'm wrong please  I'm new to this stuff |

It's probably more cost effective and convenient to store all your HD stuff on hard disks and play back using a media player.

I hate the bluRAy thread, what they're discussing is bluray titles they bought from Amazon, then continue with the delivery date ship etc over-enthusiatically. They want those free gifts packaged with the BD in the box as a collectibles. They enjoy open each disc case, reading the content on the booklet or box, load the the disc, and play and keep all again bla bla rather than to have a home HD database in the server, choose movie from an iphone-like coverflow and stream anywhere in the house.
lariiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii |

Some people likes to collect junk. Hey, it's their money. Who are you to complain? lariiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii TS: Burning HD movies to BluRay is expensive and waste of time.
