May 19, 2005 - TDK Develops 2X, 100GB Blu-ray Disc Prototype
Blu-ray Disc

TDK has developed a prototype Blu-ray Disc that can store twice as much data, and record it at twice the speed as existing Blu-ray Discs. The disc, unveiled at a TDK exhibition in Tokyo this week, can record data at 72Mbps, double the 36Mbps transfer rate for current Blu-ray Discs. "TDK increased the write speed by using a more powerful laser and making some changes to the material of the disc's recording layer," said Nobuyuki Koike a spokesman for TDK. "The first generation of Blu-ray discs can already record data faster than it is transmitted in high-definition TV broadcasts, so the faster recording speed isn't needed there. But it will be advantageous when content is copied from a hard-disk drive to an optical disc for back-up or archiving," said Koike.

Why Microsoft? Did they develop Blu-Ray?

I saw an artical about Blu-Ray a while ago in a magazine.
It looked awsom but the price tag was horendous and the cartridge (that's what it looked like) looked like whoever would want to embrase the technology will also have to get a new drive..... which means 'disk' out :confused:

To me it looks like technology for rich people only....
Then again that is what they probably said about the compact disk...

So I'm anl ol', boring fart..... who gives a :swear:
 
Micsrosoft didn't implement blu-ray discs into the Xbox-360 so they are stuck with DVD's. Also, the price for blu-ray disc's will go down just as CD's and DVD's did.
 
Yeah but they'll revise it to HD DVD or something better when the time comes when games require larger capacity disks. Though it is a little worrysome when we see new Xbox 360 games are around $60 a pop and they're dual layer DVD's. What will PS3 games cost!

And don't worry sabashuali, you're not boring, you're a cool dude:)
