Hitachi announced - 200GB Blu-ray Disc by 2009 - Blu-ray Forum

BlurayNews · 06-18-2007, 05:16 PM

Hitachi are planning to develop an eight layer Blu-ray Disc that will be capable of storing 200GB of data, this is four times the capacity of the Blu-ray discs currently on the market.

With technology sky is really the limit, amazing!

whoa.

I know this was mentioned in some other thread months ago, but 200GB discs would not be compatible in current players correct?

It was my understanding that blu ray was capable of 7-8 layer discs max at the time of it's creation in general, they just haven't released any with more than 2 layers yet. So current players should be compatible with any new disc that comes out.

This would be for storage, not for movie playabck.

I'd imagine they would if you could get a firmware upgrade..
