What about the 100GB Blu-Ray? This was announced nearly 1yr ago.http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20061019-8032.html

Also, apparently, a 200GB disc is in production.

Google is your friend.

The only aspect that will decide the outcome of this disc war will be the porn studios. Sad but true, whoever they side with will win out.

EDIT - Point 5 from the above post.

HD DVD are no longer cheaper to manufacture if they are using 3 layers. Also, what they are not telling you is that due to the 3 layer functionality, the discs are easier to damage preventing either storage layer releasing it's data.

HD DVD can go up there as well and they have annouced plans to go there, but I don't buy it till I see a written spec set for production. Until that happens, all you have in that thread is a bunch of PS3 fanboys talking about vaporware.
