I told myself a while back that once Blu-ray drives were around $200, I'd look into getting one. The only problem with that right now is that the software players (PowerDVD) aren't very good yet. I think I'd rather buy a stand-alone player once they're in that $200 range and then buy a BD burner once their prices and media prices are reasonable. As a filmmaker, I'd love to be able to author Blu-ray discs for my own projects.
