As if Blu-ray disks aren’t big enough, Pioneer is showcasing their new ultra high capacity Blu-ray disks that are capable of holding a whopping 400 GB of data (half of your entire porn collection)! The standard Blu-ray disk today holds about 25 GB of data. This new technology is the same concept as dual layer DVD’s except that it will split the Blu-ray into 16 different layers each holding 25 GB. 400 GB isn’t even the limit as Pioneer is anticipating capacities of 1 TB in the years to come as they utilize both sides of the Blu-ray disk. The PS3 is reportedly already able to read these disks so future games can include entire mini-series for cut scenes!

Playstation 3 owners took a big sigh of relief when Blu-ray won the format war. The investment was worth it guys (ever a doubt in your mind? honestly…) and now PS3 owners can jump for joy knowing that they had invested in what CNN Money has decided was the best Blu-Ray player for the money! Aside from the awesome selection of games that other Blu-Ray players could not play, the PS3 was also noted for its fast load times and ability to upgrade to profile 2.0 as well as excellent picture quality. The report only had one negative to say and that was the lack of an IR sensor for a remote. All in all, good job PS3 owners for picking out the right console!

With the popularity of Blu-ray movies and estimates that they’ll outsell DVDs by 2011 it’s interesting to see that the Play Station 3 is still outselling standalone Blu-ray players. ABI Research conducted a study which showed that out of 1,000 consumers more than half stated they had no intentions to buy a standalone Blu-ray player with about a quarter saying they would next year. With many manufactures releasing their own Blu-ray players soon this many not be the news they’re hoping for. With the PS3 at $399 which includes a Blu-ray player and online connectivity and gaming, Blu-ray players should look into lowering prices if they want to compete.
