Once we can get BluRay burner sleds / diodes as cheap as SenKat's diodes... then we're cooking with 405.

4x burners are only $600! That's gotta be 200+mW

Sorry, but how do you figure? I keep seeing people saying that these bluray burners must be so extremely powerful, and I don't see where they get this info from. A DVD 16x burner is rated for 80mW CW (you gotta respect the CW figure more with a bluray since they die so easily). 405nm is focused down further so you need less power for the same intensity, and you're only talking 4x speed. I really don't get this..

I think that 4x BluRay != 4x DVD - I'd say different Data rates, similarly to how a DVD 16x has more power than a CD 16x.

But I doubt that 4x will already be shooting through the roof with 200mW - 50 sounds more realistic to me.
Wasn't there someone who slaughtered a BR-burner and had a 50mW diode in there?
Also, it's not blue - which sucks seriously.
The Daedal-Bluray-GB kinda shattered my expectations there, of getting a cheap blue pointer.

4x blue rays are only about 45-50 they can be pushed a bit higher, but not for a long time... I cant remember the figure I heard but I want to say that someone got like 75mw out of a 4x burner...

I've heard about a few people who got 50-some mw from a PS3 diode, because earlier in production they didn't have the quantity they needed so they bought some others that were spec'd higher. I would love to be one of those lucky SOBs...
