Posted by Damion Chaplin in "HARDWARE" @ 08:00 AM
"Just two months after seeing mention of Plextor's Blu-ray drive the well-known optical storage company officially announces the PX-B900A Blu-ray drive. The PX-B900A will read and write to Blu-ray write-once and re-writable media in both 25GB and 50GB capacities which also means support for dual-layer media. The PX-B900A is also compatible with all formats of traditional DVDs and CDs... Pricing has been set at $999.99 USD which includes the internal form factor PX-B900A, a single 25GB BD-RE and software including ULEAD VideoStudio 10 and WinDVD BD."
Heh. I used to have this rule: I wouldn't buy a new optical drive until prices came down to the $100 range. I made the rule up for my first single-speed drive and followed it religously until my first DVD burner, when I raised the price to $200... One-Thousand-Freaking-Dollars?! Good lords. :roll: It's gonna be a while till I get me one of these. How about you? At what price point do you invest in new tech (I guess specifically optical drives) for your PC?
