But, I remember when I got my first DVD-R disc, and it was $9 for one. DVD's used to be pretty expensive, granted, not as expensive as Blu Ray media. (I was looking for printable BD-R's, and I about shat myself at the price [$12 to $20 per disc, with a minimum purchase of 25 discs]). Anyway, the way that DVD-R costs were brought down was by companies embracing it. To me, it seems that since Apple spent some money in the R&D of Blu Ray they would want to see their format do well, and embracing it would do that. Apple is confusing the shit out of me right now; seemingly beginning to abandon Firewire (their baby), and not embracing Blu Ray. To hear Apple say that the iTunes HD content is perfectly good is just nonsense. Upressed SD DVD's look better than that shit, and still have a higher data rate.<br><br>Apple, what gives? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Matt Kern]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 22nd 2008 6:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on OWC introduces first external Blu-ray drive with quad interface]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/10/22/owc-introduces-first-external-blu-ray-drive-with-quad-interface/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/10/22/owc-introduces-first-external-blu-ray-drive-with-quad-interface/</guid><description><![CDATA[Seems great drive to me :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 22nd 2008 2:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on OWC introduces first external Blu-ray drive with quad interface]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/10/22/owc-introduces-first-external-blu-ray-drive-with-quad-interface/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/10/22/owc-introduces-first-external-blu-ray-drive-with-quad-interface/</guid><description><![CDATA[Interesting that it reads HD DVD but doesn't have an HD DVD logo on it. How many other blu-ray drives do that?<br><br>Also interesting is that this is a Panasonic drive. So Panny is making HD DVD dives now?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mcm]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 23rd 2008 7:45AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on OWC introduces first external Blu-ray drive with quad interface]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/10/22/owc-introduces-first-external-blu-ray-drive-with-quad-interface/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/10/22/owc-introduces-first-external-blu-ray-drive-with-quad-interface/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah, their press release is a tad confused.

On the spec sheet itself, HD DVD is not mentioned.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[squiggleslash]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 23rd 2008 11:25AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
