Erik, How much is the Blu-Ray burner that you would need. I know you can get a blu-Ray burner relatively inexpensive but I don't know if it will suit your needs. <http://www.amazon.com/LG-GGW-H20L-Super-Multi-Blue/dp/B000Y1AFCS/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1228751555&sr=8-1> I would think there is/ or will be very shortly enough interest in the Blu-Ray version to justify the investment. I would propose that the club invest in one since DVD sales are brisk and Blu-Ray sales will likely pay for this investment in one year.
