You've got to understand that blu-ray as a format and hardware is SO new its not even funny.
HDD's have had so much longer to mature that the technology has had a chance to become more cost effective and pretty much mature in general.
DVD writers were several hundred dollars to begin with and blank DVD-R's were as much as $20 each when they first hit the market. 2-3 years after you could get disks for about $2 each and good writers for under $100. CD's and their hardware went the same way.
This is cool news indeed but my PS3 already sits at 1.70 and I'm going to update it to 1.80 tonight. I'll wait for a chip solution that won't make me un able to play the newest releases.
