Actually bluray writers are cheap and very popular now. However the trend is to streaming services. Bluray is on its way out.

For those of us in the USA, Newegg has a blu burner for $65 on sale. Come on guys no excuses.

Looks like the cost comes to about $1.10 per blank disc for the 6X and $1 each for the 4X if you order in bulk. That's the 25GB version, the 50GB (6X are $4.50).

I haven't done any research to see if there are any issues with burning speeds, or what brands to avoid (remembering speed and dye issues with DVD-Rs back in the day).

I barely have much use for a BD player right now (that came with my new laptop a year ago), much less a burner. Not even sure if my player can run the burnable media.
