and Sony releases 75GB triple layer discs.. oh wait.. TDK has 200GB in development.. 51GB wont matter much. lol

I still want to know how 1 layer increased an extra 6GBs for the disc. Each layer is supposed to be 15GBs. It logically doesnt make sense unless the third layer is a bit thicker then its supposed to be.

They use a slightly higher areal density to fit 17 GB on each layer.

 thanks for answering that part

@NJ5 - the space will come in handy when we get to the super-HD levels (1440p+). Also it will be used for PC storage.
