Panasonic to launch Blu-ray Disc PC drive in June - Computerworld:
"Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd. (Panasonic) plans to begin selling a Blu-ray Disc drive in Japan in June for use in desktop computers, the company said today.
The drive is the first to be announced for the aftermarket, meaning it will be sold as an add-in for existing PCs. It comes with a hefty price tag and will require a high-end PC if consumers want to watch any of the soon-to-be-launched Blu-ray Disc movies. Its announcement comes as the first PCs with built-in drives for Blu-ray or the competing HD-DVD format are being prepared for launch. "
Personally, I'm waiting for the standards wars to die down, and writers to be affordable.
At least, then, I'll be able to backup a decent amount to a single piece of media on my local machine.
