Needing a bit more backup storage than the current 4.7GB DVD-R/DVD+R can give you? Then break our your bank account because Sony has a brand new toy for you. For a mere $3,800, you'll soon be able to pick up Sony's new blue laser equipped DVD recorder, providing you with 26GB of backup lovin' per disc (which'll run 'ya about $30 each), or about two hours of high-definition broadcast.The recorder, which includes a built-in broadcast satellite tuner, will hit store shelves in Japan on April 10. No date has been set yet for an overseas roll-out, she said.
The machine will give Sony, the world's largest consumer electronics maker, a head start over its partners in the Blu-ray consortium, a nine-member group of industry heavyweights that unveiled a common format for blue laser DVDs a year ago.
Blue light, with a shorter wavelength than red, can read and store data at much higher densities needed for high-definition recordings. I think I'll hold out for a model that'll support 100GB+, haha.

I'll hold out for a model that supports my low-end budget :P #2 by KaiserRoll on Tuesday, Mar 4 at 2:32 AM
So does this mean we should expect the regular red laser dvd burners to have
significant price drops? #3 by KaiserRoll on Tuesday, Mar 4 at 2:39 AM
Hmm... 100gb+ per disc... sounds like a UV laser to me.. Actually, if they make it
work right you could probably get lots more than a measly 100 out of a uv... #4 by Squirre1 on Tuesday, Mar 4 at 7:23 AM
