Backing up bluray sounds like a great idea, but think about how expensive it would be to even use backups. cheapest blu ray player out there = ps3 = $600 (if you can find it). bluray burner, do they even have them yet? if they do, i'm assuming they are at least $1-2k for one. Blank bluray discs, assuming again that they are 15-20 for them IF they even exist. So just to copy a single disc, you're looking at at least $1-2k investment. Media, if they as low as 15 for a single layer bluray disc, and bluray movies are $20-$30, say 25, you'd save $10 per movie backed up. You'd have to back up at least 100 bluray movies to break even on your investment. Keep in mind there are roughly only 100-150 bluray movies available at retail now (blockbuster isn't renting them up in lowell ma yet, so good luck finding them without buying them).
maybe i'm missing something, and obviously my numbers are almost all guesses (please don't rip me apart on those, i'm admitting my ignorance, no need to point out the obvious), but it doesnt seem like that great of an investment for the consumer to try backing up bluray movies, and looking at those numbers, would enough people invest in anybluray for it to be worth developing?
and the worst thing about it all, is anybluray doesnt have the same ring to it as
anydvd :-/
