Maybe they will add it directly to ps4.

this will be in the launch Xbox 720

More solid information from Edge

"What's missing from this equation is the word Blu-ray. In fact, yesterday at the IT Month Fair in Taipei, Taiwan, Pioneer was coy about not using the term Blu-ray at all when unveiling its newest disc, save for suffixing it to “16 times the storage of..."

It is because this is not a Blu-ray disc at all, this is a highly-condensed optical disc that the company proposed back in July and exhibited for the first time yesterday. Now Pioneer is making three new promises: the 400GB read-only disc will hit mass production sometime in 2010, rewritable versions will come through before 2012, and a 1TB version will become available within five years. 

The consoles you have right now will not be able to play these discs. Numerous sources have reported that the disc is compatible with Blu-ray players (and therefore PS3s) already on the market. Speaking to Edge, Pioneer said the opposite was true. “Current BD players and drives would not be able to read these discs,” the company said, adding that the technology is “at this time not being proposed as a candidate for addition to the existing Blu-ray Disc format.”

However, the company went on to say that a firmware upgrade may allow Blu-ray players to read the disc, putting Sony’s PS3 straight into the spotlight as the likeliest device available today that could read them. "

As if the seek times on the PS3 weren't brutal enough.

thats pretty amazing, but kinda useless until its 2020.

Wow so all the porn I have, both in harddrive and disk form, could fit potentially on one disk. That's a lot of space.

I was finding this hard to believe too... Not that it matters much for games anyway.

Even if it did work, wouldn't it be unbearably slow? At least dual-layer DVDs read slower than single-layer ones.

Not necessarily. Once you have multiple signals entering your data separator circuitry, you are essentially in trouble. From a certain point on, it does not really matter whether your signal is distorted from 2 other layers or 15 other layers. The signals from the direct neighbours of the layer you actually want to figure out are the main sources of interference. Layers "further away" don't pose a signifcant technical problem and contribute far less to the distortion (though "far away" is a relative temr here. With umpteen layers, it might need other tricks like polarisers for example). So I guess a working three layer system can be more or less easily adopted to umpteen layers.

Wow...that's alot of storage sapce. A game of that size would be photo-realistic and HUGE, but there's no mention of cost, which is always the key driver. If each disc is like $50, it's not very viable an option.

You expect developers to make 200 GB games?
