There are Blu-ray recorders/drives, but mostly for PCs as data (not video) devices, and recordable BR discs (the price has come down from $5 each).

Then there's the issue of content protection. The content owners (e.g. movie studios) don't want to give you a cheap way of distributing their stuff. They already let the DVD cat out of the bag; they don't want to make the same mistake twice. This time they have HDMI in place.
