Forget the out-of-date 10X burners ...

Go straight to the first 12X burner:

Pioneer BDR-205 12x Blu-Ray burner

"The secret behind the technology is a 450 mW pulsed-operation blu-violet laser, which is significantly stronger than the 200 mW lasers that are commonly used in today’s Blu-ray players.
Sanyo claims that the new device can support Blu-ray discs with up to four layers (instead of only two), raising the potential maximum capacity of Blu-ray discs from 50 GB to 100 GB."

Only $250 in Japan without software (22,800 Yen )

Working on the new driver & host now.

I already have the lens assembly. :whistle:

P.S. Tell the chinese the 10X sleds are obsolete now,
but we will take them off their hands for $10 or so.

using Sanyo's diode huh... hmmmm...

I think 680-780ma might be feasable..

but then again a step by step with plots and readings until death , would be the way to go.

Are you saying that you have somehow already ordered one of these drives?

If this is true, please tell us how to order, and what price you paid! :)

OMG, Thank you for posting this, I can already tell this is going to be a long thread. I'm really surprised at the $250 price tag. I was thinking close to $400.

Damn Larry, you're the man. Good luck with this diode, I am REALLY looking forward to the results of this. Please post lots of pics and videos when this is all said and done! :beer:

That site is just a link to several other sites kind of like amazon right? Maybe we need to try all of them and see if they all do not ship out of Japan.

No sure if they ship international though.:thinking:

Here is that page half translated:

Google Translate

As you can see only the first three pages even appear to have it in stock.

Thank you google. You can roughly translate any internet page with translate.google.com. Some of the boxes that are still in Japanese can be read in english if you scroll the mouse over them and wait for a box with English to appear.

Edit: I don't think any of the websites have it in stock yet. We might have to wait a while until we can get these in the US. But I could be wrong, maybe Larry has one.

I haven't actually ordered one ...

but those are Japanese price tags, which are $250 U.S. dollars.

It appears that they are actually in stock in Japan.

Are there any Japanese board members ???

I am not 100% sure it is the Sanyo diode, but that is the consensus on some Japanese boards.
