I think Blu-Ray writing will stay at 1x and 2x for a while. After all it's quality that people want, not recording 50Gb in 10sec.

Maby it will go up to 4x but for now I think we will have to wait to 2007 or later for faster speeds. Remember how long cd recording stayed at 1x 2x and 4x.

They must allso develop the technology etc. And that costs money.

I am happy that 1x Blu-Ray writing is fast enough compared to the amount of data you can stor (25gb on one layer).

But HD-DVD is nice too. I think HD-DVD will be a lot cheaper in the start.

For me PRICE is the object, I only use media to store raw data. Format don't matter to me. Space and price of the media
