Is it just me or is DL Media actually going up instead of down in price. A quick check at Rima showed 2 offerings at $24 and $30 a single disk. Looking elsewhere that price seemed pretty much in line with other name media. I have been assuming that DL would follow the price curve of most other newly introduced formats, yet it seems to have gone back up as much as $6-7 per disk over the last 8 months. I haven't heard that manufacturers were claiming any new problems, but I hadn't heard that they had cleared up any of the old QC issues either.
Since media typically falls in price about 1/2 every 10 months, this almost makes me think/worry that DL has dead end written all over it despite the huge number of new burners that support the format.

I checked bestbuy.com and actually your wrong, down to $4.50 a pop. Odd, I've just been watching like Rima and Supemedia like I mentioned they've actually gone up???
Ok, guess that's a nevermind $6 or less is certainly on the price curve meaning that they'll probably hit the $3 range sometime early 2006. -
still too expensive for me. I'm not spending 3 dollars per disc to chance at a coaster. I'll wait until they come down

Each person kind of has their own point Silverblade. $3 is pretty much my cuttoff. But remeber it's only been about a year ago that high end SL media dropped below $1. Given almost twice the storage capacity $3 isn't that much more per byte. The coaster penalty is of course a lot higher, but I'm also assuming that that will drop significantly within the next year, just like it did for -R and +R.
Looking around a bit more, it does seem odd, but consistent that the loss leader stores (WalMart, BB, Office Depot) are definitely much, much cheaper than the media outlets (Rima, etc) right now????? -
