What will a Blu-ray Disc recorder cost? UPDATED

As with any new technology, the first generation of Blu-ray Disc recorders will be very expensive. The only Blu-ray recorder currently available in Japan is the Sony BDZ-S77, which is priced at 300,000 yen ($2,700) and the discs required to record high-definition video are priced at 2,600 yen ($23) per disc. The explanation for the high retail price is that the recorder is targetted for businesses and enthusiasts rather than consumers.
