Huh. No kidding. Why does Japan get everything so cheap?

Yeah, I think blank discs are only about $5 there. I'll have to check when I get there in a month. They had the BD recorders in 2005 when I was there for about $3000, so they have definitely come down. There is a pretty strong video/audiophile culture there. You can still pick up LD players in the regular stores.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
