Multiple Disc Argument - It just doesn’t work for anyone.

Hmm... getting prices for actual replication is a bitch, since everyone seems to want you call or e-mail for a quote, but here are some numbers I've found, allowing replication of 5000 copies:

DVD-5: 53 cents each
DVD-9: 58 cents each
BR-25: $1.57 each (site: http://www.sfvideo.com/ )

DVD (unspecified size): 58 cents each, will drop to 19 cents each for large enough (unspecified) order
BR-25: $2.20 each, or $1.95 each at 10K units (site: http://www.rovix.com )

DVD-5: 50.58 cents each
DVD-9: 72.68 cents each
BR not offered (site: http://www.nationwidedisk.com )

So what I'm seeing is still a significant gap in pricing for making a disk. 2 DVD-9s appear to be cheaper than a single BR-25 in all cases, however. So no, pressing BR disks is not cheaper. (Also note that I did not find pricing for pressing BR-50s at all, so I can't look at that angle.)
