[dba-Tech] 1000-year DVD

Correction - when I said "50GB is twice that", I meant twice the price *per*GB*, ie four times the price of the 25GB
disc.

Remember that my Blu-ray burner is ancient, single-layer only and doesn't understand BDXL!  I bought it as an
'early-adopter' five years ago at GBP172 (=CAD272).  Today's prices for a quad-layer burner are way less - I've just
seen a Pioneer at GBP66 (CAD105).

Discs are a different matter.  I can buy a BDRE 25GB for GBP2 or less, but 50GB is twice that.  I can't see any 128GB on
sale, and 100GB (triple layer) are GBP43 to 57 - seven to eight times the cost per GB of my tiddlers.

Cool! Maybe I just haven't looked hard enough in my local retail outlets. We have all the big box outlets here. Might I
ask what you paid for the burner, and what you pay for the big-capacity discs?
