Really? More HD than Full HD?

Clearly you can flash the firmware of any PS3 to be able to do anything, and the rendering and computing is all probably done by its blu-ray drive...

Nothing wrong with logic there....]]>Jun 25th 2010 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/Jun 25th 2010 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/
"Full HD" is just a marketing term. Ever heard of Quad HD?

But that's not really the point. The discs can have infinite space, the lack of "more HD" is due to the hardware limitations, namely the video processor. Most console games are barely running 720p, if that]]>Jun 25th 2010 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/Jun 25th 2010 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/Jun 25th 2010 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/

Wow..

Does anyone else see the big picture here?

The PS3 hasnt been updated yet, like the 360 has.

So in the next year or so, we will be seeing a PS3 capable of playing discs with 128GB of data...

Thats alot of fracking data to be stored for games..

I see the PS3 smoking the 360 yet again.]]>Jun 25th 2010 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/Jun 25th 2010 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/Jun 25th 2010 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/

The laser upgrade is referring to *writing* BDXL, not reading. DVD drives were capable of reading from multiple layers when they were only intended to read from one, I'm thinking Blu-ray may be capable of doing the same.]]>Jun 26th 2010 3:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/Jun 26th 2010 11:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/Jun 25th 2010 11:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/Jun 25th 2010 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/

You can partially burn an optical disc but the support is flakey and disc burning hasn't gotten more reliable so you will get to 62GB and then some stupid disc error will jump out and you'll have wasted a $40 disc.

For archival of large amounts of data like HD footage in edit formats fine but I'm on HDDs and I don't think I'll switch to optical before SSD gets cheap.

Within 3 years, we will be at 16nm and SSD will equal current HDD pricing. Although you will be able to get Blu-Ray backup cheaper than this, if you were backing up an HD project then $50-100 for every project is nothing worth bothering about, especially when you can update the files on them and have much faster access.

Optical is dead, what we are seeing now is merely the decomposition process.]]>Jun 25th 2010 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/Jun 25th 2010 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/Jun 25th 2010 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/Jun 26th 2010 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/

Yes sir but blu ray has progressed alittle to fast or perhaps i've sliped with the times but buying another blu ray players feels sort of spearing from the inside out. I have some problems figuring it out but its good tech is progressing.. just heavy on the wallet as usual.]]>Jun 25th 2010 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/Personally, I'd rather they improve the standards we already have than come out with completely new ones. VHS to DVD wasn't fun. DVD to Blu-ray was acceptable (still expensive though.) Blu-ray to Blu-ray XL will likely be less expensive. This won't be the first format to do this either. SD cards became SDHC cards and now we will have SDXC cards. You can still put an SD card into an SDXC slot. USB has done similar as well.]]>Jun 25th 2010 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/"Yes sir but blu ray has progressed alittle to fast"

Jobs/Apple is ignoring Blu-ray because it doesn't fit into the Apple business model which is going the route of Digitally Distributed media. Apple is in favor of digital downloads and digital streaming over Blu-ray. i-Tunes and AppleTV is proof of that. At least they are being honest about it. Sony and other BDA companies are slowly trying to get digital distribution into house holds through their Blu-ray players because they know that the Blu-ray infrastructure is still very unstable and they want the consumer to think they are buying something that'll last for the long haul even if the main format fails.]]>Jun 26th 2010 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/25/128gb-bdxl-blu-ray-disc-specification-finalized-and-fabulous/Jun 25th 2010 11:03AM
