I cannot wait for a Blu-Ray burner to be affordable, I'd pick one up in a heartbeat.

So will this drive even record DL discs? It looks like not from:
BD-R (SL) 2x, 4x CLV
BD-RE (SL) 2x CLV
Hopefully the prices come down soon. I want a BD-R drive badly, but I cannot pay anything close to the current prices. Maybe in a year...

The best price I've seen for BD-R 25 is about $15.90 though I think there may be cheaper out there. About 3/4 of the way down the page.

Using current exchange rates, the price at that site is actually a bit over $18, which isn't bad, at least for people in the UK. But after factoring in shipping to the US, I don't think it would be all that cheap for people on this side of the pond. The best price I have found from any dealer in the US is around $20/disc + shipping for BD-R, and $25 for BD-RE.

Well, I don't want to get into a "what constitutes the real price" debate, but if you have to pay the VAT, then it's part of the price as far as I am concerned. And, while it is usually better to order online (don't remember where I claimed otherwise), paying transatlantic international shipping charges generally cancels out that cost benefit.

Meh, plenty of forum members seem to order from Amazon.co.uk with no serious complaints. When I've ordered from Canada or the US there's never been any issue, particularly when there's any sort of volume involved. VAT is taken off for non UK residents, so that's why I listed the appropriate $ price.
