I would so buy this if it was $200 cheaper.

I'm not being sarcastic when I ask this, I don't own a BR burner:

Do blu ray discs not fail when burned? CD's used to fail all the time when I burned them... especially on my early 4x burner. Even after the discs started using buffering, discs sometimes fail when burned.

Do these $25 discs fail?

Also, I know hard drives fail, but I've got 5 internal drives in my home system, one external, and two hard drives in each the two servers I run. I've had many hard drives over the years, but none have failed me. Call me old school, but I'd take my chances with a hard drive over a optical disc, any day.

Besides, we've had 50gb backup's for many years... it's called a tape drive, and they're pretty fast.

You need to check your prices. Blank Blu-ray discs are about $10 - $15 each. Fry's occasionally sells the Panasonic brand blanks for $7.
