Unless there's something new I haven't heard of, Blu-Ray (which is already out) is still the largest capacity.

yeesh... It looks like I'll be using 4.7 gb red-ray discs for the forseeable future.

How much is blu-ray media, on average? It doesn't use standard DVD recordables, does it?

20-ish, iirc.

Pretty sure it's closer to 26.7ish.

They're both still excessive..

26.7 is how much it holds. We're talking about price.
