This article is in reference to the stand alone players themselves yet you can expect the price to be somewhere in comparison to this as blu-ray technologies is about twice as high as HD DVD. Konquerez may can share exactly how much he payed for his recent purchase.

Yes to answer your question both of these technologies require their own unique burners. The difference being that the traditional DVD burner today uses a red laser to read and write while both of these new technologies use a blue laser. The blue laser is much more precise allowing for this huge growth in capabilities.

I have to agree with the sentiment expressed in that article that I am staying put until a winner emerges from the DVD war. While Blu Ray is appealing, it looks like there are 2 formats for it currently. Reminds me of the laser disc technology that was supposed to antiquate current media but died a horrible death. I am not about to spend $1100 on something when I don't even have the assurance that it's output will be supported a couple of months down the road.

This could really boost Blu-ray's aspirations of becoming a standard, or it could hurt Sony's drive in selling the PS-3. The other question is whether DVD movies will be sold in the Blu-Ray format, because if it isn't, then one has to buy a burner to create their own discs. The saga continues.

So once again the best marketing strategies win the race. Funny how it is not the best technology that wins. Same as the mac vs IBM way back and the beta vs VHS, I still think the X-box is way better then the Playstation 3 and hope it will stick around regardless of this battle.

With everything I have read I think the blu-ray is the way to go. I will still wait for the price to drop before purchasing one.

It is now as it is the only one left. They will drop quick I am sure, though I will not buy one as my system is too old for it and would be no benefit at all.

Yeah when the price drops I will get one and add it to my home theatre system that is hooked to my HD tv. I am slowly getting into the digital age. Just bought a phone I can text on.
