And think, a 500gb drive is now nearly 100, sometimes under, if you catch a good deal. Just got 750gb for less than 150....

As for blu ray, nope not yet. Eventually, yes, but right now there's still an early adopter tax I am unwilling to pay, and there's not enough market penetration to make it worth while for me, yet. the DVD burners and HDDs I have are affordable enough and still work well enough, so no complaints there.
