Pioneer, Mitsubishi develop LTH BD-R discs

While the HD DVD camp is busy with its 51GB disc, the Blu-ray side has a new creature of its own to talk about. Co-developed by Pioneer and Mitsubishi, the LTH (Low to High) BD-R reportedly utilizes an "organic dye recording layer," and is said to be a recognized format within the Blu-ray Disc Recordable Format v1.2 standard.

i feel bad for the BOTS who purchased the HD DVD addon --soon to become obsolete

Snooze6853d ago (Edited 6853d ago )

I read the article, and I don't really understand what LTH means, if its important or not. Does it just mean lower expenses, or is it capable of something that the standard blu ray discs can't do now?

edit: and I do want the blu ray camp to win, I just have no idea what this has to do with anything.

Kholinar6853d ago

From what I can see the capacity seems to be the same but with cheaper costs, which is good.

No official word on whether firmware updates will be enough to fix existing players, which is bad.

The latter negates the good news in the former if true (or at least negates it for early adopters). It'd be pretty bad if all the ps3's in existence suddenly couldn't play many bluray discs...

Snooze6853d ago

Thanks for clearing it up. Here's to hoping that firmware updates can allow current players to read them.

Maddens Raiders post this it doesn't have to mean anythng(make any sense) as long as the twist is some how bias.

ER1X6853d ago

Do you speak English? You sure as sh1t can't type it.

power of Green 6853d ago (Edited 6853d ago )

Don't take your emotional and social problems out on me.

Learn to deal with people...

You get agree's because you speak English when others don't lol...

ER1X6853d ago

Hello pot, meet kettle.

Arkham6853d ago (Edited 6853d ago )

I think the word you were looking for is "biased." Not "bias" (or "bais").

Remember: if you have a bias towards or against something, you're biased. You're not bias. If you're exhausted, you're not "tire" are you?

edit: @POG - If you're going to edit a mistake in your comment (bais -> bias) at least correct it (bais -> *biased*)

power of Green 6853d ago (Edited 6853d ago )

I'm sorry was my original post a personal slam outside of gaming?.

segasage6853d ago

this is one of those "who gives a sh%t articles" posted to get hits...

absolutely nothing to do with games...

whatever makes fanboys sleep at night..

ER1X6853d ago

pog,

Yes, it was a slam. You personally attacked Maddens. I dished it back it to you and you call me on it? Then you edit your posts around like the fake you are. Appreciate the ignore as well. Log on to one some more of your fake accounts and do some more damage with disagree's and ignores.

You're a POS fanboy, end of story. Everyone knows it.

I on the other hand, just call people out for being douchebags...regardless of what console they play. I'm an equal opportunity employer. ;-)

Yo eriks your a equal opportunity offender :P hehe

But until the prices of the blank media and recorders are brought down to a reasonable price, I don't think its really gonna matter if its some sort of amazing new dye for the discs, as most people will find it too expensive to be worthwhile

I like the fact that they are trying to bring down the costs of the BD-R's but if it means incompatibility problems with the current players then what really is the point?

TruthBTold6853d ago

Hopefully this will lower costs which benefits the consumer as well the manufacturer. But this needs to also be compatible with current and older Blu-Ray players, otherwise it will just screw a lot of current Blu-Ray owners.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle55d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy62d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12562d ago (Edited 62d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
