Well, here in my country you can only buy Blue Ray DVD writers,
no HD DVD writers.

Blue Ray DVD writers: 750 Euro.

And I can buy
Blue ray rewriteble 5 25 GB for 90 Euro, 18 a piece, or .720 Euro per GB.
Blue ray recordable 5 25 GB for 70 Euro, 14 a piece, or .560 Euro per GB.
HD-DVD recordable 1 15 GB for 10 Euro, 10 a piece, or .666 Euro per GB.

Site:
www.opus.nl

I have rounded some numbers.

So this proves you wrong on all points here, availability, price, price per GB,
and we have rewriteble Blue Ray too, so tha twil lsave you even more in testing.

I expect prices of the burners to come down considerably in the next few years,
also prices of the media, and double layer to appear.
It is still more expensive per GB then normal DVD.
