Wowee!

no that is dopey fresh!!!

Technology if left to freely expand will grow at an exponential rate. No surprise here.

I'm just impressed with the engineering that went into making a disc with 16 individual layers on one side, and yet still have the form factor of a Blu-Ray DVD.

Simply amazing.

I'm impressed as well

cool... this would be a great way to REALLY backup all of our mp3's!!!

The ultimate porn medium!

"...the technology to use the disc is already available to consumers, as the super-multi layer disc can be read on current Blu-ray players, thanks to the specs of the pick-up head (PUH) of the Pioneer disc being the same as the PUH of standard blank BD discs."

Wowzers, I didn't see that coming!

Being able to back-up my music and video collection on a dozen or so disc would be AWESOME!, I HATE and I mean HATE dealing with hard drives. Never know when they are gonna fail but I have CD's in my closet from the early 90's that still play perfect.

Yeah but imagine how many gigs a single scratch would wipe out on a disc like this.

Yes but at the same time with only needing a few disc you can easily make multiple back-ups of your music. Of course this is all in the future and by the time these are even commercially available I would imagine the burn times wouldn't be that long. I don't know but it's nice to dream especially when stuff like this is being prototyped.

This gives another great option to backup your files.

forget the disc, i want the asian chick.
