Lightscribe Price Finally Mentioned
A good little
article at cdfreaks.com
says that HP has finally dropped the other shoe
on pricing for
LightScribe
technology.
The news is that buying a LightScribe burner is supposed to
cost you about $10 extra than a normal CD/DVD burner,
while LightScribe media is supposed to be about ten cents
more per disc.
Alas, the lengthy delay in actually getting LightScribe
to market makes these modest price penalties relatively higher
than they used to be.
For example, it's now not unusual to be able to purchase a
relatively fast and flexible DVD burner for about $40,
making the LightScribe markup nearly 25%.
Likewise, one can purchase Verbatim DVD+R discs
for about 25 cents by buying in lots of a hundred
and playing the rebate game.
That makes the LightScribe markup for media
nearly 40%!
Hopefully, these markups will decrease faster than
the cost for normal drives and media.
