51GB HD DVD disc gets official
By Paul Miller | February 28, 2007
In a strange turn of events, Blu-ray discs are outselling HD DVDs, and now the HD DVD format has taken the lead in capacity — who would’ve think it? Toshiba just announced that it has successfully created a triple-layer disc with 17GB per layer, which amounts to 51GB, a full GB more than those dual-layer Blu-ray discs can muster. We heard about the size gains at CES this year, but Toshiba is already in the process of submitting the new extension of the format to regulatory approval, however, the word on the street still amounts to a potential Q4 release, and it’s still unclear at this time what kind of manufacturing costs or complications these new discs will incur. We’ll say it again: the format war is far from over.
