Is the BD disk ceaper to produce than DVD?
I can't believe that. How long have dvd's been around? it's cheap mass produced and not new. I don't see many BD given away with £3.99 magazines.
I think it's cheaper to produce 3 dvd's than 1 bd disk and if you can show me substantial evidence that proves you right I'll continue to believe that.

Maybe he meant real physical cost, if not it doesnt make sense. There still R & D that needed to be cover on the price, in the future than yes, but now I would be very surprise that the overall cost is less expensive than 2 DVD. I would also like some proof.

it is because you do know one of the most thing's that make both HD DVD and Blu-Ray was the cost/GB per layer  was cheaper due to how you have to manuf. standard DVD's when you have to go to DL-DVD9's , both HD DVD and Blu-Ray are vastly cheaper cost per/GB per layer because it's like a production like you would  a single sided single layer CD or DVD

Think about this for a sec.

CD single sided single layer = 600 an 700 MB capacity's

DVD dsingle sided single layer = any where from 1.8 GB to 4.7 GB

SINGLE SIDED SINGLE LAYER 

HD DVD 15 GB

Blu-Ray 25 GB

there is no contest BOTH HD DVD and Blu-Ray production cost per/GB in single layer single sided is chaper than even a

single DL-DVD 9

 

You are counting this by PC terms, which some users here probably won't really be in sync with. If you are just counting by $ per space, BR will be cheaper no matter what. I think they are more curious about production costs per game since not all games will use the full capacity of even a single layer BR.

well is that the point though, you still have to get your  game produced on the media which mean's you have to order so many disc's during preproduction based on how many of the disc's you need duplicated. so by going by duplication and authering cost's what do you think is the +/- when you need your media produced on a DL-DVD 9 or  SINGLE SIDED SINGLE LAYER BD 25?

this used to matter in more upfront cost's for Blu-Ray due to not that many production and authering studio's being how there was less than it is today. not as many production lines, time is money so movie's and game's would be delayed because not enough of the authering and production companies were around .

but even today more companies have invested into Blu-Ray production line's, more authering and publication companies are croping up.
