@walsufnir: Maybe you can't put a Wii U disc in a PC with a BD drive and read it's contents (or maybe you can with the right drive, like with the Wii?). But the future, when the console is properly hacked, you will be able to burn a standard blank BD that you purchase from a store and read it on the Wii U, since it's the same tech most probably.

@ganoncrotch: Maybe I should've mentioned that too, but that was my point exactly. Even if Sony was one of the key player on the development of a format, that does not means it's the owner.

@thranx: There are BD drives for PC much faster than the Wii U's. If we go by the assumption that it is indeed BD tech, then the Wii U uses a 5x speed drive. There are BD drives for PC that read at 12x.
