Belated offerings

The new Samsung SH-S223 DVD Burner with 22x recording capability sounds wonderful.  If it had been brought out two years earlier. 

With the next generation of optical rewards going to Bluray, for the next 3-5 years until something better comes along, why spend the money on a faster burner?  When by just waiting a couple of months down the line, the prices for bluery players will significantly come down in price and you can still use your old dvd's and new bludiscs, without the extra hassle of another same capacity drive?

Here's a lovely picture of one though.
