High Capacity Discs are Here

The news this morning from Sony studios is that it has release three movies on 50GB Blu-ray discs. WOW! This is huge, you will soon be able to buy not only high definition DVD's to enjoy in your new High Definition television, but you will also be able to see a lot more features included in these high definition discs.

Can you imagine been able to watch all the content of a traditional DVD then some all in one disc. There are promises of a lot more extended and deleted scenes, all and all this is a movie director's dream. However, this is probably not a big thing for those folks who traditionally go out and buy the DVDs. For folks like me who rent them via Netflix or other movie rental outlets, this is big news as we will no longer need to crowd up our queues for double or triple the amount of items.

Further, this will have big implications in the not so distant futures, because these disc will virtually allow you to backup your computer data all in one thin DVD. This might actually mean the end of backup tapes and other storage media.

The bottom line is that the DVD industry still in its infancy and with prices still quite high for High Definition Televisions and other High Definition Components, I don't foresee a big leap for this, but at least there are items to look forward to in a year or two.
