The thing about Bluray is, it has a smaller laser wavelength and enables
the storage of mind-boggling/tentacle-wriggling amounts of data. Normal
DVDs max out at 7 GB, double-layer Bluray is already 50 GB, and Pioneer
has rolled out 400 GB discs (yes, four hundred) - a cool fifty-seven times
the size of a DVD. Terabyte gaming, here we come!
