I think the new formats of optical media have missed the boat. I want to be able to have media on a drive that i can stream to any TV in my house. Drive space is cheap - even when its redundant. <br><br>optical discs are out. Give me a service that i can download high-def movies and other video. That will allow me to keep track of an account of what i "own" so that if there ever was a drive failure or something of that nature, i'd have access to the content i already purchased. I'll spend a lot more money if i dont have to go to best buy every tuesday for new content. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[RyanV]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 21st 2006 11:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on IODATA launches BRD-UM2 &amp; BRD-AM2B Blu-ray drives]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/21/iodata-launches-brd-um2-and-brd-am2b-blu-ray-drives/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/21/iodata-launches-brd-um2-and-brd-am2b-blu-ray-drives/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is a BD/DVD/CD burner. The PS3 will only be readable BD/DVD/CD ... im guessing this makes quite a difference in cost.
