TDK Blu-ray media available in the UK,...Sony begins shipping 25GB Blu-ray discs
PARK RIDGE, N.J., May 5, 2006 ? Leading the charge toward the next generation of optical disc-based high-definition media, Sony Electronics has begun shipping its 25GB single layer Blu-ray Disc? recording media with AccuCORE? technology. In addition, a dual layer 50GB capacity disc is set to debut in June.
?Sony knows Blu-ray technology like no other company,? said Mike Lucas, director of marketing for Sony Electronics? Media and Application Solutions Division. ?Coupled with our uniqueAccuCORE technology, we expect our Blu-ray recording media to take the high-definition experience to a new level of performance.?
Sony?s AccuCORE technology, which was first integrated into recordable DVD media over a year ago, has been re-engineered for Blu-ray Discs to deliver enhanced reliability and durability.
Sony?s Blu-ray media also supports a 2x recording speed, which provides a high data transfer rate of up to 72 Mbps, making it ideal for high-definition video recording and data storage applications.
i thought for sure HD-DVD was gonna be the next big thing, since current dvd manufacturing lines could be used, if upgraded for a couple hundred thousand as opposed to a whole new line of manufacturing equipment for a couple million to produce Blu-ray discs....interesting.
100 gigs on a disc, sweet....now you can use 3 of those to backup your drive instead of tens of dvd's
