Bluray disk cost 25$ for 50gb and usb flash drive cost 5$ for 64gb
The 25GB disks are like 10¢.
Where? I see only 30$ for 5pack of 25gb bd-r
While not as cheap as suggested, they aren't anywhere near a expensive as you're suggesting.
How can I afford to buy Criterion Collection Blu-Rays for $14.99 if blu-ray discs cost $25?
That's read-only, not read/write, plus they're buying bulk.
Economy of scale and also slightly different, but related, media format. Criterion has them printed in bulk.
Yeah ok, but as we've established in this thread, Blu Ray discs don't cost $25 a piece. At any level. So.
Again, writable Blu-ray is a slightly different format from what you would buy with a movie on it. They are not putting Criterion movies on the same discs you could burn them to in a drive.
