It would also be awesome if burners had a clear top. Isn't it a quite powerful LASER that burns media?
I'm sorry, but you've just completely nullified your credibility with that ignorant comment.

I think it's what the rest of us refer to as humour.

It's not really ignorant. It doesn't take that powerful of a laser to do what a burner does, it' just focuses the energy on a very small point. By the time that beam shines through the media, and disperses from being focused, it is not powerful enough to cause eye damage. If burnable media was crystal clear, there could be some valid concern, but the light still converges at one spot, and is at quite an angle. The energy will never focus in your eye to burn your retina. It's not like a laser point that makes a beam. They aren't really powerful enough to do damage unless you use a lens to focus the energy better in your eye, or you stare at it like a moron. And yes, it was meant to be taken as humor. Just because of people flipping out about laser exposure it will never happen. You can take a freakin' laser pointer and a cheap lens and burn something dark or pop a dark balloon. There's no telling what more you could burn with some really precise optics.

Not necessarily as one has to pay the shipping and handling, too :)

I buy dl for 4.50 to 5.50 depends on write speed, and that includes shipping. I get sl for $1 or less, with shipping. I use BDrebuilder to shrink full disks to 25G, with menus and extras. They play on my ps3 and oppo. P.S. Hard Drives can go bad just sitting unused.

Yeah, they're probably just expensive because they're new right now. I mean...remember when CD-R's came out? They were pretty high priced...and then DVD's came out...etc....ohhhh technology.

I found some good deals that are shipped straight from Japan from ebay but since the tragedies that has hit the country at the moment I think I will wait awhile before I order some. I hope the Japanese people overcome these desperate times.
