Sorry to say, but dvd burner prices HAVE come down already. They used to be like $250+ for a good one, and like morris said now you can get them for a hundred bucks. I don't think they'll be going any lower anytime soon.

DVDRW prices have come down almost 50% in the last year.
The 8X's are down under $200. I don't think they will get much lower. |

I'm pretty sure DVD burners will be at or below $50 within a year. True, the technology is more advanced than a CD burner, but its the same technology difference between a CD-ROM and a DVD reader, and they are both around $30 now. They are a novelty now, but soon they will be just as ordinary as a CD burner. If you absolutely can't shell out $100 now, just wait a few months.

I did a report on data storage options in 1999. When I started my research at the time, DVD burners for the PC were $20,000 !!
Before I finished my report, which only took several weeks of "spare time," they had already come down to $15,000. I just picked up my second personal DVD burner, the 8x TDK unit, for only $150. I'd say they've come down already. They may come down a little more, but I wouldn't expect a big drop until the "blue-burners" come out, and then "just" 4.7GB burners will finally replace CD burners. Just my $0.02 worth...  TwoRails |
