4.0 out of 5 stars Worked for 5 rewrites, October 23, 2009

Did 5x (full erase, image burn). Worked on a PS3 Slim but died after the fifth burn.

This may be better than can be expected for a 50 GB rewritable though.

I've burned, erased and re-recorded on two of these pricey 50Gb BD-RE media I purchased from Amazon. Every dual-layer burn has been perfect. Prices will come down over time like SD DVD did. I'm amazed in that I have an old dual layer SD DVD burner (~8Gb) yet the industry never produced a dual layer rewritable SD (~8Gb) DVD medium, only single layer (4.7+ Gb) re-writables have been available. Now years later, Blu-Ray offers this ability on a DVD that's over 6X the older format capacity. 'bout time! For consideration to those shopping for a PC/Mac Blu-Ray drive offering read and WRITE capability, I have the Buffalo Mediastation Blu-ray/DVD/cd Combo USB 2.0 sold by Amazon (I got mine on sale at Circuit City for ~$250, although I would expect Amazon to come down on their price for this since typically they are always very competitive on almost all of their pricing - Burning and playing software is included with the drive). I use a Mac but with Windows on Boot
Camp. Works like a charm! (yes, you can burn on a Mac and it will support the drive. but, for most burning and anchoring and most importantly, -playing-, Windows still leads the pack for Blu-Ray support.... come on Apple!)

Does exaclty what it is intended for, re-records, and holds 50GB. It is also the cheapest I found, so it gets 5 stars. as the other reviewer stated, hopefully the price of these things will drop soon.
