I think that "expensive" is a relative term, especially in this case.
The Sony BWU-200S 4x dual-layer internal SATA Blu-ray Disc burner is
priced at $599.99 directly from Sony through their SonyStyle Web site,
or for a few dollars less through regular resellers ($582.58 from
Provantage, for example).

While a heck of a lot more than what we're currently accustomed to
paying for a DVD burner, what was the price of the old Pioneer DVD
burners back in the early days of DVD? Something on the order of $8000
to $10,000, as I recall. In that case, under $600 seems cheap to me.
