500GB Discs for Trilogys?

[MovieFreak]

I was reading the news archives and there was a post about Pioneer (I think it was Pioneer) making a 500GB Blu-ray disc.
So a thought popped into my head ( ), what if the studio's used a disc of this size to put whole trilogys on one Blu-ray (i.e. Back to the Future, etc.).
Let me first say that I don't know if that would be possible, but if it is, I think it would cool.
What do you guys think?

P.S. If this idea was already talked about, sorry for the repeat and my misspellings.
I apoligize if this is the wrong section for this thread!

wrong section and learn to use search function. I'm not going to say my opinion in this thread because I don't want millions of threads on the same topic.

geez do u have to be such a dick about it. Personally i would love to have multiple movies, tv show series on one disc. Im not sure if this would be something the studios will be interested in, it is tough to sell a single disc for 100 bucks. Consumers seem to was more discs for their money, even if the amount of content is the same

Actually, it's not a Blu-ray laser being used in these machines, it's something completely different (which the name for is slipping from my mind right now).

As for what their future use is, I doubt they would be used for home media. Cause from working in a theatre with multiple digital projectors, I know it's a fact that the file sizes of "digital prints" aren't even that big, from what I've see it's about 100 GB per hour.

Thanks for defending me!
You make a good point about consumers seem to want more discs when to comes to paying large amounts of money.

(Note: I'm not going to slam anyone or get into name calling about this thread.
I apoligize if this is the wrong section, if I knew what section this sould be in I would post there.
As for posting, even though it says I've been a member since 2007, I've mainly used this site for Blu-ray news, and see if a movie is worth buying based on reviews. I've only started posting for the first time yesturday 06/15/2009.)

I think the Technology section is where there are threads about it.

[do search in technology section for 500GB for some more threads]


For long shows/movies or many things on the same disc, at very high bitrates it would be great.
