Some new ideas by Sony mean that they are able to cram even more data onto the already considerably sized disks.
A tech report from Nikkei Electronics Asia states that the new technology will allow up to 33.4GB of data to be stored on a single disk, compared to the previous 25GB.
Some of you may be thinking “Yeah, great that’s not going to help me and my PS3 though.” Now this is the particularly appealing part; this new tech will work with current blu-ray optics. That means playing disks with an extra 8 and a bit gig crammed onto them could be possible with something as simple as a firmware update.
Apparently, the new system is down to the use of partial response maximum likelihood signal processing. The oldest trick in the book.
There’s no news of when Sony plan on utilising this little gem but, should developers finally decipher Sony’s painfully confusing coding system, it’ll open some doors to creating even more complex and epic titles.
