Blank DVDs are pretty expensive, but that's because people THINK they are worth that much. The cost to make them is much closer to what they are charging for blank CDs. Eventually, the price will drop when people figure that out. Hmm, how long did it take the public at large to figure out CDs are actually cheaper than cassettes? They DIDN'T?! Oh lovely... Stupid people! Even the ones that ARE aware of it are completely unaware that ALL customers are in COMPLETE control of what the price of something is!
Anyway, on a similar note, I'll wait for this thing to flop, like it will, and buy it when the stores are getting rid of them for about $20 each (like what happened to the Virtual Boy). You know, Dogbert was right. This whole project, DOOMED to failure, is meant to boost the career of whoever thought of it and nothing more!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
