Sub $100 Blu-Ray Drives By Xmas

Looks like we all might just have Blu-Ray drives in our PC’s come Christmas. Sony and HP have jointly said that by this coming holiday season Blu-Ray drives for desktops should be under $100. Laptop models should be about $150 OEM. This is the perfect marketing strategy for ensuring universal adoption of the Blu-Ray standard.

Remember, this units are readers only, you will be also to burn DVD’s and CD’s with these units but not Blu-Ray discs. Imagine being able to take your HD movies with you when you travel, brilliant.

This sure beats the $500 I had to dish out some 15 years ago to get a first generation CD burner.
