1TB Blu-ray disc planned

Pioneer makes projections

The IT Month fair in Taipei, Taiwan has brought some neat news for technology lovers: Pioneer Corporation, a multinational that specializes in all things digital, is set to beat its own record yet again. In other words, I'll see your 500GB Blu-ray disc, William Henning, and raise you 1TB.

The corporation's super multi-layer technology is read-only (ROM) at the moment, but in 2010 they will launch rewritable discs, and in 2013, a 1TB (1,000GB) version. The 500GB disc is evidently backward compatible with current Blu-ray players -- whether or not the TB disc will be can be presumed, assuming Blu-ray is still around by then!

    Using actual HD compression instead of MPEG2 you can already have an unheard of variety of films at your disposal on current 50GB discs. Too bad the industry still refuses to adopt it entirely. One would have to hope they don't find another way to blow space on those discs if / when they come around. I think we're still waiting on most of these other varieties up to 500GB as well still.

    What would be awesome is if you could buy a TV season or a whole series and get it on one disc.
    I get tired of TV shows taking up all my shelf space.
