Is that price too high? In US does it sell for the same price? I think the prices will come down after some time! How soon? Well that's a question which nobody knows answer to!

Old News...!

The PRices are too high in India. The other Day i saw Blue Ray and HD DVD combo Writer for 13000 i think at EBAY International and this is only a ROM

[techtronic]

To start with these will always be higher. We have to wait for at least a year till prices come down.

[praka123]

BD writer is what is worth!also,if the fight during the past yrs(bd vs hdvd) had been avoided,we had already be using bd recorders at cheap rates!

[hellgate]

the price of the drives doesnt concern me much but untill the price of the blank media comes down and it becomes widely available as normal dvd i aint gonna buy it.
