| thetonestarr said: BD is capable of more than 50GB via additional layers, but there's one enormous different - most cheap BD players are only capable of reading dual-layer discs. That's normally how it always is. Thus said, you won't see commercial BD releases in any more than dual-layer format. |
Actually, according to this article, Pioneer's 16-layer 400GB discs that they announced a month ago will, at most, require a simple firmware upgrade to be compatible with existing players. Also, according to wiki, Hitachi had made a working 4-layer 100GB disc that worked with existing players without requiring any modifications or upgrades.
Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it
