What happened to the 100GB Blu-rays?

[DealsR4theDevil]

We were told that they were developed and then we were never told anything more.

patient my friend.... I believe it's on the work

[Bullseye]

won't these be used for mainly hard drive back up and not movies.

[quexos]

The hd-dvd fanboyz are chanting about how the 4 layered Blu-rays will never be used for movies and only for data.
So I hope these 100GB Blu discs come out sometime to prove them wrong

[Beta-guy]

I want to see them used for movies, that all BD movies could have the bitrate maxed out, lossless audio for numerous languages and all extra's would be 1080p on 1 disc!

[jorg]

there working on frimware update for this to work on player 4 layer 25 gig layer discs have been made so its coming lol

Each LOTR's extended version all lossless would work nicely on a 100gb.

They are a reality, they are working on tweaking them.
You have to remember, they have promised that they will work in any BD player with only a firmware update.

It will take this to get all the extended versions plus the difinitive extras on there. I really wish they'd do all that plus put some of the National Geographic films about Tolkien on there. Anyway, that's just my wishful thinking.

the best part is TL51 is questionable if it'll work on all HD-DVD players but even if it does they'll get up to where we have been the whole time, while we get almost twice as much space as they will have :P

Also, the last time I heard from the Red Camp, they were arguing whether or not the TL51 will happen...oh well, I'm just laughing because they opened a can of worms when they said they were going to 51 GB. They should know if we have more space on the current layers, if BD used more layers, it would double.

TL51 COULD be the best thing to happen for Blu-ray, if it's indeed incompatible, the HD-DVD users will be at a point where they'd have ask themselves do they want to buy another HD-DVD player just to watch TL51 discs, or will the standard change again, to increase the max bitrate... if they choose against buying another HD-DVD player it could spell the death of HD-DVD, they might even move to BD or get a combo player, either way more sales for BD. that said I support TL51

Until I hear more concrete news on that though, I am calling it vaporware.

Hmmm, so if they do come out with this, how long will you have to boil them before they work?

But it would be interesting to see if they are incompatible with existing drives, if so, they are wasting their efforts.

That 51gig disc is a joke if it does not work with current players, & the death of HDDVD will be hear sooner than we think

You know, I read it, but I always wondered two things...

#1--I really do know the answer to this, but Sony is listed for the founder of DVD...which is true, but why is HD DVD on this same website?

#2--This one I would like to know--why does this site look like a Pre-K student designed the site?

Anyway, until it comes out to consumers, it's like the 200 GB Blu-ray Disc that Sony is playing around with now...it's still in the planning stages.

Maxwell and TDK have made separate announces for 200GB discs in 2009. So, I would expect 100GB in 2008 or early 2009. Like some of the other said, this is for storage...not for studio movies.

Why do you people and so many others keep insisting this would not be used for movies? Are you all completely unaware of long movies, movie serieses, t.v. shows, and loads of things released in box sets and whatever other packagings? I am hellbent on huge compilations and releases such as this. Why are some of you to the point of ademently denying this is logical?
