  Damn, a 50gb blu ray costs 2€ in my country.

  for 35€ you can get 512gb flash drive. kinda insane to think about that. maybe even cheaper but that was just what I found from my local store

    Yes, flash memory came a very long way, when current nodes of 3nm going to be old enough for mass producing growth memory, there’s gonna be 5tb microsd cards probably, since we’re already having 2tb ones tomsguide.com/…/the-worlds-first-2tb-microsd-card…

      the storage density growth is so mindboggling that I find myself hesitant to trust it lol. 2tb?

        It’s getting harder and harder to make things smaller, but they are making things thinner now, which means they can layer them, thus increasing density.

  The 25GB disks are like 10¢.

      While not as cheap as suggested, they aren’t anywhere near a expensive as you’re suggesting.

      I’m not sure what country you’re in, but have you tried Amazon? I found Verbatim 50 packs of 25GB for $40 and Ridata (usually good quality discs) for $28. If you want small amounts there’s various 5 packs for less than $10.

  How can I afford to buy Criterion Collection Blu-Rays for $14.99 if blu-ray discs cost $25?

  source

  • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Economy of scale and also slightly different, but related, media format. Criterion has them printed in bulk.

    source

    • prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeah ok, but as we’ve established in this thread, Blu Ray discs don’t burst $25 a piece. So.

      • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        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.

    That’s read-only, not read/write, plus they’re buying bulk.
