So I was in a Sony Style store yesterday when I noticed a Vaio laptop equipped to play Blu-ray discs. Who wants to take the US$3500 plunge to try to learn how to extract data? It seems there is a slightly cheaper option available though– the BWU-100A internal Blu-ray drive, which can read and write just about every CD and DVD format preceding Blu-ray, as well as reading and writing Blu-ray media. US$750

Does anyone care yet? Or will Blu-ray and HD-DVD go the way of DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD?
