Blu-ray, also known as Blu-ray Disc (BD) is the name of a next-generation optical disc format jointly developed by thirteen leading consumer electronics and pc companies (Dell, Hitachi, HP, LG, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Pioneer, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, TDK and Thomson). The format was developed to enable recording, rewriting and playback of high-definition television (HDTV). Blu-ray makes it possible to record over 2 hours of HDTV, or more than 13 hours of SDTV on a 25GB disc. There are also plans for higher capacity discs that are expected to hold up to 50GB of data.
The Blu-ray Disc Founders are:QUOTE Dell, Inc.
Hewlett-Packard Company
Hitachi, Ltd.
LG Electronics Inc.
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation
Pioneer Corporation
Royal Philips Electronics
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
Sharp Corporation
Sony Corporation
TDK Corporation
Thomson

If sony starts using it for PS3 than the games we would buy would be more expensive than ever. And maybe the hardware too. Because wouidn't you need a faster "thing" to read the large data disc? The whole concept is great but I"m pretty sure its not going to be public anytime soon.

I don't think so, because a major change in the hardware is wavelength of the laser and accuracy of the head (it's about reading/writing more data from/to the media with the size of current DVDs) so there's no such speedy thing and because it's not just in the hand of Sony and they already have the technology, it would not be so expensive ( I HOPE! )

I'd like to use this disk for computer backups... I hate having to sort through everything, deciding what to but on my back up disk and what not to. I'd love the extra space.

well, by the time Blu-Ray becomes the standard we'll have terrabytes of data stored in harddisks anyway, so it won't be any different than dvd-r today. However there is a bigger problem. Hollywood decided to go with the DVD Forum and the next gen HD-DVD which stores up to 20GB on a single layer. So if they divide, then sony will lose its movie playing function. Moreover, manufacturers are already picking their sides. For example Sanyo, NEC and Toshiba opted to go with HD-DVD. Hopefully this competition between the formats will bring down the prices

LoL... Hope it will be implemented for our daily usage, it will save a lot of space in my CD racks.... Btw, how about its price, if it is used for PS3 games, then it shouldn't cost so much right?

This morning I was going to listen to some music, so I got my iPod, turned it on, and it reset (I
hadn't had it plugged in for a while). When I got to the music, it would go through half of a
song, then skip to the next. After doing this a couple times, it would just skip entire songs.
It'd skip six or seven, then do half of one, then skip six or seven more. Later I looked on the
internet for some ideas, so eventually I tried resetting it again, as instructed. This worked for a
little bit, but then it started skipping over songs again. I reset again, and it lost...
