Once the production line is set up the cost of manufacturing a recordable blu-ray is not signifiantly more than that of a DVDr or CDr. I think it is purely the fact that keeping the cost of blank media high will make the manufacturers more money from early adapters while there is an opportunity. There is no real need to complete to sell these discs cheaply until the general public begins buying blu-ray burners. This will likely be detered however by HDCP encryption on HDMI connections rednering copying of HD content from streams diifcult.

If you can burn blurays they're afraid you can pirate. The data storage market is a pittance compared to what the MPAA thinks it is. Realistically, who is going to download a 25gb movie and burn it. When idiots are at the the helm we all lose! It’s called a monopoly. If you can burn blurays they’re afraid you can pirate.

The other reason is BD-ROM is pressed disc, they cost about .20 to manufacture a BD-R (recordable Blu-ray) costs about $7.00 to manufacture single sided, double sided is about $14.00 or in British pounds around 4.72 BP or 9.45 BP for dual layer. The other issue would be VAT ;) two major reasons. one the motion picture industry is pushing BD-ROM (the movie you would purchase at a store) so they are ‘financing’ lower then normal pricing based on volume.
