With blue ray and hd-dvd on the pinnacle of being available - why the heck hasn't double layer dvd media became cheap?

[episodic]

Stupid artifical prices. I just be able to get a spindle of 50 double layer disks for 14.95 by now.

Less than 50 cents a piece.

Do you even know words have more than one definition?

From the projected prices of the Blu-Ray and HD-DVD drives themselves, $1000 and $800 respectively, only first adopters and some businesses will be buying them. That's not enough sales of drives/media to drive down the price of DL-DVD, imo.

If I were to hazard a guess of when DL-DVD media will come down to your level, I'd say 12-18 months after Blu-Ray/HD-DVD drives are in the sub-$500 range.

Because nobody's buying them.

Noone is buying them because they are not cheap. Sell them for the price the disposable media should go for - then you'll see me pick up a couple of 100 packs every year.

Prices on DL DVD won't drop until BluRay and HD-DVD recorders and their media become available. Nothing "artifical" about that.
