are the discs panasonic is creating, the 400 gig ones, compatible with blue rays that are in the market right now? i remember reading somewhere that they weren't but i am not sure.

 

A one TB (1024 gig) Bluray disk is in the works and should be hitting the shelves in about 2013. The best part? It will work with all bluray players, just like the 400 GB versions hitting stores next year:

And looks like Bluray is being adapted faster then DVD was:

So only one question remains: Will a blu future make haters see red?

 

 

Now whats the point of a 400gig for a movie lover? You think a studio is going to put a Box Set on One Blu-Ray disc? It won't happen for a couple reasons.

1) I don't care how well the Blu-Ray disc is protected by it's Coated Layer it can still scratch, and/or become lost/stolen, and what will you have? 4-6 movies Gone, lost forever, go out and buy a whole new box set, rather then replace 1 movie in a normal box set.

2) Studios like to show the Words (Special 2 Disc Set) because it appeals to consumers. (More Bang For Your Buck) so to speak. Blu-Ray was (in many eyes) to do away with Multiple discs, but thats not the case as you will find with Iron Man, Dark Knight to name a few that have Multiple Discs.

 

Now for storage purposes it will be a great Idea.. (I mean instead of paying $130.00 for an External 1TB Hard drive that can be wiped, formatted, added to, etc.etc) you can pay $250.00 for a PC Drive + $24.99 for 25gigs 1 layer BR Disc.., man for that price.. I wonder how much that 400gig will go for...

O forgot, you can get the 1TB Hard drive NOW.... not a year from now.
