Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I think its going to be at least a few years before it becomes affordable [by that I mean sub 1000 dollar range]. But DVD-/+RW is hardly a fiasco. I have my NEC 1300 drive, got it for 150, now its like 99 bucks at newegg.com. It burns everything without a hickup. I love the damn thing, just make sure to get decent media or else it wont play in certain stand-alone players somtimes. Also go here....

dvdrhelp.com is the holy bible when it comes to anything to do w/ optical and video storage and formats. My second favorite forum to [H].

To me, blue laser is as close to vaporware as anything.
When i was in school 8 years ago, i remember reading magazine articles touting blue lasers.
And people were buying into the hype bigtime, like one guy wasn't going to replace his dead cdrom since blue lasers were "right around the corner".
I'm guessing at least 5 years.
And who knows since dual layer dvd burners are supposed to be coming in mid 2004.

Blue-ray may never see the light as an economical personal storage medium. The DVD Forum chose the violet-laser HD-DVD as the medium for the next generation of DVDs, due in part to its backward compatibility with current DVDs.
You can buy Blu-Ray hardware and media TODAY in Japan, but availability is very scarce elsewhere.
