The very definition of a mixed blessing. On the one hand, 25GB of data storage and the ability to record four hours of high definition video, all on a disc the same size as a DVD or CD. On the other hand, DRMed to the teeth and boobytrapped to boot.

A typical single layer blu-ray disc can hold 25GB. A popular video game console that uses blu-ray is Sony PlayStation 3.

Get the Blu-ray mug."Blu-ray is just a bag of hurt. It's great to watch the movies, but the licensing of the tech is so complex, we're waiting till things settle down and Blu-ray takes off in the marketplace."

Get the Blu-ray mug.What is most likely to become the next form of media. It's the be used on the next-gen consoles such as PlayStation 3, X-Box 2, but you just never know with Nintendo. Movies will probably be used for it as well, as they can also be recorded on them. A single side can hold 25 GB, and dual can hold 50 GB, and get this, they're making a quad-layered one with 100 GB. That'd make one fuck of a Grand Theft Auto game. Overall, in 3 years when somebody reads this, Blu-Ray will be well known. The acronym for it is BD, for Blu-Ray Disc.
Because blue lasers are thinner and more precise then the current red lasers, it's now possible to store more on a single disc. A Blu-Ray Disc to be exact.

Get the blu-ray mug.1. Something the corporations should release from their million ton per sq. inch greedy jaws if they expect it to take off any time soon in this economy.
2. Something stupid ass motherfuckers like the ones who bought laserdiscs bought as soon as it came out to feel like they're on the bleeding edge, but having to update their players after each weekly update of the format for the following few years. Basically, people with more money than brains.

I have to buy this faggoty DRM raped Blu-Ray shit to watch any movie in HD? Screw those assholes. And screw their greedy hollywood clutches and the stores where they feel the need to lock up these precious pieces of shit like they were their mother's secret, stolen panties. What, it's not enough they threw all sorts of faggot, obnoxious, irritating bullshit schemes on DVD to try (and fail) to protect their precious, coveted masterpiece intellectual crockerty like Snakes On A Plane Director's Cut that only made pirates laugh while purchasers had to screw around with that crap?
