i prefer BD-R becos bigger space mah.BD drive already available mah with Panasonic brand and it cost more that 2k per drive.

blu-ray even the name itself oso cool

of cos tat is not da reason...
i will choose blu-ray since it has more capacity even though it's pricey compared 2 hd-dvd...
but price will drop rite

I'd wait untill a few more year. The price does not reflect the usability of these drives yet, even tho from rumours and sites HD-DVD is the more reliable one.

HD burner gua..bluray disc so mahal wor..keke..
as far as i knoe,Blue ray rom selling abt rm2000-rm2500 rite?tat is last time's pcfair price lo.

Blu-Ray media disc capacities is 25Gb!! ......

and? it's hard to find anything that you want to burn that much at one time. And once that disc is scratched... bye bye 25GB of data

yeah, its a quite dangerous to store the important data

both drive at least over Rm1k now.

That i was mention this 25Gb Blu-Ray Media disc got thier advantage & some more disadvantage too......

actually is over 2K & at the moment I dont think it is affordable for most user.
BTW the disc 1 BR-R cost around rm 100 per disc & that's killing.

Of course its not affordable because its still new to the market. Wait for next few years, sure it will become affordable. Better get external hardisk.

just wait for another year or 2-3years...maybe we can buy 2 types for RM100+ each?

Sony never learn from their mistake, look at the video format wars, the digital camera wars, and the audio format wars, Sony lost all of them.

Only the problem with Sony is that they make good product, but don't know how to sell it.

I predict that BlueRay will go in the way of the Betamax, because everything I see about Sony and BlueRay is nothing but dejavu.

My Vote goes to HD, not because I think I don't like Sony, which I do, but because in the end, everything will be out in HD. Besides, it is usually not often to find cases to burn stuff on DVD of that kind of size.

i vote for HD-DVD drive . blu-ray too expensive .. that price can buy 8800

i voted none. i will wait for another year or 2. but i think i will lean toward HD DVD. from wat i heard, more reliablity n cost wise compare to Blu-ray

I will wait for BD/HD-DVD combo drive.

xbox360 HD DVD drive sold for under rm1k now...

Me too ... It'll be better if one drive could support all the format.

i'll wait till their price are below RM500... then i take both...

Still the media will be expensive for some time.

Blu Ray, data density means most to me

when the burner drop it's price i'm sure the medias will follow suit... and OEMs will appear outta no where at maybe 1 quarter of the branded media's price...

Depends on who wins the format wars. At the end of the day, content(movies etc) will sell the drives.

A bit of trivia here - one of the reasons betamax died was because sony didn't allow porn on betamax

sure soon we will have BRv2 or HDDVDv2

i would say they will need the same head for burners... juz like DVD5 and DVD9...

Until now they still hadnt produce a good perform DL DVDR until now.

Format wise, I'd prefer BlueRay. just like how I like Sony's ATRAC. The more expensive price tag on Sony's products are worth it.

Just like riddler2k84 said. Sony makes good products. But they don't know how to sell it.

But when it comes to actually buying the product, I'll just stick around first to see which one wins.

You prefer ATRAC? The dynamics compression is plain horrible.

I prefer HD-DVD-R, media will be a LOT cheaper to produce because you can use existing DVD disc fabs- only need tweaking of materials.

Blue-ray needs whole new fabs, and that alone makes the price of the discs astronomical.

Indeed. Sony is not a good company to have leading a format monopoly. Just recently a new rootkit was discovered in their memory sticks. They just never learn from their mistakes, and they keep trying to subversively lock people into their stuff.

wat makes u think Blue Ray and HD DVD got good performance now...?
and i kinda wonder y DQ6 box emphasize on Blue Ray tech support...

Really? I don't know.
Was using it since a few years ago. The compression rate is good and the quality is also good. Besides, it really does save battery compared to using other audio formats.

good products....not for their gaming consoles....lens lens and more lens problem from the 1st gen itself

i never think it will be good, as u can c even DL also is not yet tat stable also.

hahaha... but as sellers tat do not concern us... juz sell watever proven to bee good... if it's not then don sell...

after 2-3 years....price will be cheapp
ahahah
look at cd burner speed 24x ,2001..cost u 1k

Current DVD-RW is more than enough for now. If the price around RM300 and the media cost only RM2-3/piece then can consider affordable.

haha,wat take into account is time.

even in market now the D-10 and D-16 also not really common.

D-9 also consider expensive.lol

Wen the time is right,PS3 games will come out in the Pyrated Label.

Better to have Combo that with HDDVD + Blu Ray in 1 writers

u can get them from the "pirate of the net".... if u know wat i mean... they even have their own t-shirt...

if both price tag like current dvdrw drive ok lor... but i damn expensive...

i choose both

Recently just read an article about HD-DVD vs BluRay... It says that the one who's going to dominate the market is going the be the one the Porn Industry choses...

Just like what happened to Betamax VS VHS. The VHS format was more preferred by the porn industry... and therefore, it was successful. Only a handful of Studios used Betamax but the market for movies were nothing compared to the Porn industry.

i choose blue ray of course...
