And at $3,800 (£2500) for the Sony BDZ-S77, Blu-Ray Recorders are VERY steep.

It is a new high capacity disc that the ps3 will use for games. You can read about it here (http://www.blu-ray.com/info/)

You sure bighap? You didn't need a new burner when they started making 80 minute cd's.

Well in the article is says they will be releasing stanalone and pc burners starting in 2004. Sounds like a new burner will be needed to me.

I can't remember where I read about the ps3 using blu-ray(I think a PSM) and somewhere else too. I'll do some searching.
