Pretty freaking sweet if you ask me.
Not really when you consider standard SATA300 & soon to come SATA600 Hard Drives costs a hell of a lot cheaper & have faster data transfer rates. 15GB, 30GB & 50GB are good enough IMO for DVD's. I'll stick with 750GB & 1TB HDD's thank U

Plus if this 100GB ever comes out, today’s BD players don’t have the means to play them.
