$17 for what is less than two DVD-DL 8.5GB discs which would be about $5. I know pricing comes down but at the price/GB of the new Optical Media I'm really trying to see the updside of these Blue Laser formats when you have HDD just exploding in capacity and speed. ]]>Jun 8th 2006 12:22PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/06/08/hd-dvd-r-rw-media-available-july-5-in-japan/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/06/08/hd-dvd-r-rw-media-available-july-5-in-japan/---
Hate to do this to youse guys, but you REALLY should read the press release. Both Hitachi and Mitsu are doing both HD and BD. Impress Watch might have been a little biased towards HD or their post was to focus solely on HD-DVD, but if you look at the companies' websites, you'll see they offer both BD and HD. On top of that, Maxell is releasing info about the DL and RE versions too.

Kinda makes the whole statement about HD beating out BD moot, eh? This would even warrant a post title change.

BTW, Maxell = Hitachi? If not, edit, edit, edit!]]>Jun 8th 2006 1:41PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/06/08/hd-dvd-r-rw-media-available-july-5-in-japan/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/06/08/hd-dvd-r-rw-media-available-july-5-in-japan/
