200 GB in a single disk...

yes, you can store upto 200GB , full PlayStation 3 video games in a single disk.


Yes , I am talking about Blu-ray Disc, it is an optical disc storage medium designed to supersede the standard DVD format.

Its main uses are for storing high-definition video, PlayStation 3 video games, and other data, with up to 25 GB per single layered, and 50 GB per dual layered disc. Although these numbers represent the standard storage for Blu-Ray drives, the specification is open-ended, with the upper theoretical storage limit left unclear. 200 GB discs are available, and 100 GB discs are readable without extra equipment or modified firmware.[3] The disc has the same physical dimensions as standard DVDs and CDs.

The name Blu-ray Disc derives from the blue-violet laser used to read the disc. While a standard DVD uses a 650 nanometer red laser, Blu-ray uses a shorter wavelength, a 405 nm blue-violet laser, and allows for almost ten times more data storage than a DVD.

Blu-ray Disc was developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association, a group representing makers of consumer electronics, computer hardware, and motion pictures. As of June 2009, more than 1,500 Blu-ray disc titles are available in Australia and the United Kingdom, with 2,500 in Japan, the United States and Canada.[6][7]

Blu-ray Player manufacturers have included the ability for their units to playback standard DVDs, this is expected to continue. This means your current DVD library is playable on a Blu-ray Disc Player.

Almost all Blu-ray Disc players will play standard CDs/CD-R/RW discs. However, there are some exceptions to this


Movies on Blu-ray:
A large number of films and other video content is available in the Blu-ray Disc and more are released every week. Currently, about 2,500 titles are available on Blu-ray. Prices for the titles are about $5-or-$10 more than current DVDs.
