which comes out to be INR 44000/- It seems to be a classic case, where the hair gets bigger than the head itself. (ie I mean, Blue Ray Drive getting costlier than the whole CPU itself)

Re: Blue-ray DVD Writers

^^ first time when DVD writer came out it was priced about 30K(i remember it was on Digit). So no wonder. someday it will be 2K. I'll be waiting till then :grin:

Re: Blue-ray DVD Writers

I will buy when it hits 4k spot. And yes cost of media should also be in range.

Re: Blue-ray DVD Writers

i ll get one wen it wd be around 4k...
and media cost arnd 40rs..

Re: Blue-ray DVD Writers

It is Blu-ray (editing the post title)

I got a DVD writer in late 2006 for 1,700 Rs. I really wonder if I would ever get an optical drive with blue ray laser diode anytime soon.

i got myself a DVD-Writer when it was 5 K ....5 months later price dropped to 3 K

....i'll buy a Blue-Ray one when media gets to 30 Rs. n the drive gets to arnd 3 K :))

Thanks for bumping a 80-day old thread. Blu-ray drives won't get so affordable for another two years, atleast. So, you can continue to dream on..hehe

How did you come to this conclusion dude!

Rupee has gone stronger these days $1.00 = Rs.41/40.00 (and decreasing) or so hence $1,000 would be around 41,000/40,000.00.

Dunno about the taxes though.

Btw, a Blu-ray writer nowadays is available (in the States) for a $500. The prices are coming down...

HD DVD writers on the other hand are even cheaper...

It will take 5 more years for Blu-ray DVD Writers to hijack the current position of DVD Writers(cost-wise).
