In the age of Blu-Ray, I still don't understand why anyone would do a DVD-9 HD version in 2013. BD-25s aren't that expensive. Now, of course, BD-50s are still through the roof unless you import from Japan, but that's another story.
Not everyone has the $60+ to drop on a burner.
It gets even more expensive when you need a SATA3->USB3 external enclosure because you only have a laptop, etc.
