100GB goes live!!! Hitachi's 100GB Blu-ray disc drive is ready!

[Dave]

Sure, it's just a prototype for now, but we can't help but feel a bit smitten with any drive capable of playing 100GB of data off a single 4-layer optical disc. The BD camp was also touting 200GB, 8-layer discs as they have since 2004 (at least) while showing off the components that will usher in 8x performance (double-that of existing commercial gear) in a more realistic time frame. When that might be exactly, no one's willing to say.

How could you say this without having one??? I have both so I can actually make an educated statement about hd-dvd vs. blu-ray...you are just a troll trying to piss off blu-ray supporters because you have nothing better to do..and are a little *****.

blu ray is incomplete and sony and it's puppet companies will make u buy 3 players within 2 years.

Moderated for language (please mind your language) ony fanboy...

the level of intelligence is unbelievable. If you came with some reasons why you thought that the PS3 is an inferior system, then maybe we would listen.

for calling out fanboys you seem like a big old Toshiba fanboy to me.

Hey pot, this is kettle, and you're black.

And its called firmware upgrades, which Sony has done a ton of so far for the PS3....at least be educated enough to know both sides...and how am I a fanboy having a 360, 14 games, and a hd-dvd player... while you only have an hd-dvd player. haha you are so dumb..now go ahead an insult me again w/ your 4th grade insults...

[scragham]

Wow! He has an XBOX360 with add-on that works! I've gone through a couple of XBOX360s myself. BTW: How is second grade coming along?

MS did it right? how do you enjoy playing Halo in 640p? I hope XBOX Live has faster downloads since you're paying $50/month. BTW, I didn't know you can download firmware for your XBOX's HD DVD player. Oh wait, you can't. So I guess that BD is the one missing Lossless Audio, oh wait that would be HD DVD. Incomplete formats? Why is it that all BD Player can support 1080p and all HD DVD players can't? Before you start talking about price, lets compare apples with apples. HD DVD sucks!
