Rolling Your Own Blu-ray Discs: It’s Not Far Off

It seems blu-ray burners are available for computers including RW versions (meaning read-writable blu-ray disks). However the blank disks are $25-50 per disk, rather pricey.

An example is the "Sony BWU200S DVD+/-RW Blu-ray Disc Serial ATA (SATA) Drive" ... the drive itself is pricey.

It would appear sometime real soon now the prices will fall and it appears as that happens we'll have a different option for semi-archival that is more suitable for modern data needs.

Samsung BD-P1400 Reviews: C|NET

Excellent video quality and features. Has a LAN port for updating firmware. Bad: "The BD-P1400 only supports Blu-ray Profile 1.0, which means it won't play some special features on discs coming out in 2008." They found some video quality issues in certain standard tests.
