- phcreates, on 10/12/2007, -9/+81aximbigfan - what the heck is a "nuclior recator"?
- nymphetamine, on 10/12/2007, -8/+64Sweet, now'll be able to put ALL of my pr0n on two to three BRDs.
- Oakes, on 10/12/2007, -6/+50Shut up about the ***** nuclear reactor. What the ***** is wrong with you people.
- BritishGolgo13, on 10/12/2007, -8/+48ONLY 2 or 3?
- thedonquixote, on 10/12/2007, -20/+59And yet Sony still doesn't have a viable BD player or burner. How is this 200G disc helpful? Its like the Holographic Memory cards. No one has anything to read/write them with.
- Blah_Blah_Blah, on 10/12/2007, -5/+37You're just old :P
- qwerty967, on 10/12/2007, -10/+41"nuclior reactor."
Try again. - DarkDays, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31Now I can backup my HD with 1 disc, damn.
- soogy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+271x is 36Mbps (4.5MBps), but it should be noted that it attains this speed while rotating much slower than DVDs or HD-DVDs. However, at launch, they should support 2x.
- BaCk1a5h, on 10/12/2007, -7/+31Yeah until the disc ***** up and you wasted 18 hours. have you ever had a CDr or DVD F up?
- MrFisty, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25Great. Once Peter Jackson gets hold of this we can look forward to Lord Of The Rings: The Neverending Story.
Either that or audio commentaries from the senior accountant, the caterer, the stylists, the assistant assistant assistant producer, Kong... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+25lol, so?
Twenty hours to backup your entire drive on a DISK, is pretty nice and convinient. If the BD R drives get to be below 300..
I'll buy one and backup my entire Storage array, (Approx. 1.2TB) - ani-pockdotnet, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20What is the read speed on a Blue Ray Disc?
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -12/+29"you sit in a corner and stare at it. the samething you do with a nuclior recator"
even if you meant 'nuclear reactor' ... it still doesn't make any sense.
who sits in a corner and stares at a nuclear reactor.. wtf? - aximbigfan, on 10/12/2007, -9/+25Nuclear Reactor damit
- Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19You know, instead of blowing a few grand on a Blue-Ray drive and disk, you could always do something foolish like slap down a few hundred for a hard drive twice the size and an external case... and back up your whole hard drive in a half-hour.
- soogy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Actually, it'd take just over 8 hours at 2x to record 500GB.
- Nezzari, on 10/12/2007, -9/+23That will take over 20 hours at 2X
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17don, that's not true.. blu-ray players and burners have been released in japan..
and sony just unveiled a new vaio laptop (the highest priced one) that will burn and play BR discs
..and obviously holographic media isn't nearly ready to market. i'm sure they won't have them ready for another couple years. - CutthroatMan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15You don't see how having a hard copy of 200gb of information is USEFUL? I have almost a terabyte of data on my pc, 4 or 5 of those disks and I can backup EVERYTHING.
Sounds pretty ***** useful to me. - davdav, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Yes it was resolved
http://digg.com/technology/_Sony_Blu-Ray_Goof_Debunked_ - Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16And once your My Documents is free, can you take *your* photos and movies of your animal escapades off *my* hard drive? Roommates, sheesh.
- titanass, on 10/12/2007, -6/+18a Sony product fail? I dont think thats possible.......
- mikeweezer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11"With 200GB of space, you could easily fit all of your favorite shows and family movies. "
This reminds me of when Bill told us that a whopping 1mb of space on a floppy disk would store all the information we would need. - BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16"lol, so? *overnight and is finished 9:00*" ( person above edited his comment. :o )
20 hour nights, eh? - grat2001, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16This just means you can't get a scratch on it or there goes 20 GB!
- implosion, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Will the newer disks be compatible with the older Blue-Ray players and PS3?
Also if the first player is 2x isn't that really 1x since it's not actually faster than any other version? - UltimateFlynn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Did you even read the article?
The disc has a protective layer for scratches, if it wasen't for that then this product wouldn't be worth substantial amount of money that it will undoubtably be. - Cabal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9read the article
"The 6 layer Blue Ray disc relies on new technology that allows an incredible 33GB of space per layer! " - fishindiesea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9thats still only 198!
i need my 2 gigs! - riverside71, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9very nice.. and FUTURISTIC.. cuz i'm still waiting on Dual Layer +/-RW disks .. .where are they? i'm sitting on three Dual Layer burners.. but no Dual Layer +/- RW Disks!!!
- drgruney, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Blindirishman... magnets don't mess up optical media. Well, no more than anyother piece of metal... but you made it seem like a magnet would be especially messy. And to whoever wonders how they would screwup recording at 1x. They must be too young to remember tape drives, or 1x cd burners at that.
- MOGua, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Will the average BR player (PS3) be able to read this?
- mv10, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13if we look back at this in 10 years, we are gonna laugh at ourselves for being excited about 200 GB disks when they have 200 GB 10 pack floppy type devices in the future for nickles and dimes
- digitaldivider, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I don't see blue ray being too wide spread in your average home outside of Sony's PS3. However IT-wise, blue ray RW may be a viable alternative to tape backups. imagine backing up your server with 1 TB of storage in 5 blue ray discs? as opposed to how many magnetic tapes? given tape drives have a longer shelf life than most optical media, but still, I see this having more business application as opposed to domestic application just due to the simple fact that 200 gigs is a lot of space to fill up, I mean hell my hard drive is 120 gigs! I can fit my whole hard drive and still have 80 gigs of room left! most users have about that size, or more commonly 80 gigs.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12yeah, they spent millions producing the disc just for ***** and giggles..
- jgclark123, on 10/12/2007, -9/+17@aximbigfan
So close!
Now, you spelled "dammit" wrong. ("Damnit" is another common spelling variant.) source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damnit - davdav, on 10/12/2007, -6/+14Everytime storage space is mentioned the first thing that comes up is porn. It gets old.
We realize that you have a lot of it. I don't see the reason to be proud of it.
Go outside. (but first mod me down) - titanass, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9most likely no but that we'll have to wait and see. I think this is a seperate blueray standard that will not be supported in all players I believe only dual layer will be on consumer standalone movie players and probably PS3.
- Lordless, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9You all complain about how you'd lose 200GB is the disk got scratched. Here's a solution: Keep it *in* a case unless it's in the drive. I never let my disks get scratched therefore this would be quite good for me.
- Chompy, on 10/12/2007, -9/+16190GB of DRM, 10GB of content!
- rushiku, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11"I do belive they are going to be using some kind of cratch proof finish on them."
Given all the pr0n that will be stored on these, they damn well better be crotch proof - knightblade2oo4, on 10/12/2007, -7/+14Im pretty sure it's not going to '***** up' at a write speed of 1x...
- superkendall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The protective layer on Blu-Ray is some serious stuff, a reporter tried going at it with some steel wool and couldn't scratch a disc.
Should be much better for the rental market as the DVD's from Netflix often look like they were stored at the bottom of a chicken coop. - brokendaylite, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11I honestly don't think blu ray will take off as much as i want it to. I read somewhere that the Ps3 would be the "poor mans blu-ray player". How much will a NORMAL blu-ray player cost?
Digg me down for this but i must ask. . .
yesterday someone posted that At some Sony Celebration they were "showing off" the blu-ray Laptop and "they opened it to find a DVD+r"
I remember it being under review for authenticity, did it ever get resolved? - UltimateFlynn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7It was resolved and the poster from the original site admitted it was just a trick in the way they posted the pictures. It should only be a few topics down if you would like to read it.
- triplehelix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7if i recall that's not far from what dvd-r disks cost when they first rolled out.
- 1ivewire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Duke Nukem Forever will only be released on holographic disc.
- SubZ3r0, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Calm down fanboys dont get mad cause your stuck with dvd9. blueray has 70% of the entertainment industry pushing behind it so dont think ps3 is gonna be flop on either gaming or entertainment capabilities hate to disappoint you but this war is far from over....
- psquared89, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7It doesn't, but 33 GB per layer * 6 layers = 208 GB ~ 200 GB.
