That said, rather amusing that whatever is being showed off by some goodlooking girl who most likely has no clue what she is holding.

(Unless you are sitting two inches away from a giant screen.)

I assume the intended use of this is computer data, not video. Although it would certainly make the 'full season box set' rather smaller.

Incidentally I don't really believe the discs will work in existing players, or else not all of them... let's wait and see, if they ever release it...

For personal use, it's too risky to backup data on a 400GB drive. Even though Blu-ray is less susceptible to disc rot than DVDs are, I can't trust myself to keep it in the right conditions. Maybe corporate users would like it as an archiving medium, and I imagine they would keep it in a proper, safe environment..]]>Dec 2nd 2008 8:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/pioneer-shows-off-16-layer-400gb-blu-ray-disc-affirms-compatibi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/pioneer-shows-off-16-layer-400gb-blu-ray-disc-affirms-compatibi/Dec 2nd 2008 8:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/pioneer-shows-off-16-layer-400gb-blu-ray-disc-affirms-compatibi/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/02/pioneer-shows-off-16-layer-400gb-blu-ray-disc-affirms-compatibi/Dec 2nd 2008 8:48AM
