Blue-Ray Recorders, 2nd Gen?

[Shredder]

Hey all,

Apparently the first Blue Ray recorders are being released now, at a price tag of $899. At 50Gb's per $10 or so disk, this is a steal for data storage....but not only is the speed slow for first generation, I can't really justify 900 right now to buy one, when I just know a faster, cheaper model will be around the corner..

Anyone know when Gen 2 will be coming out? Has there been any speculation, or should I start saving 900$'s to back up all my HDTV and Audio files?

For that price

For That $$ you can get some monster HD's!! I will wait until I can get a shoe shine as well for $900! Shouldn't be hard since they are shining your Butt for $900!

steal for data storage?

might as well get an IPOD, just as much stoage space, for 1/3 the cost.

As a storage medium BluRay is really not he way too go.

And like gizzer said, HDDs are super cheap, and getting cheaper.

Just saw an External 500 gig HD at Costco for under $250!!! I'll stay with these for Video Storage until price comes down a LITTLE!!!
