Mini Blu-ray discs show off wider adoption of HD format


Here's some food for thought: Verbatim has started manufacturing minature (UMD-sized) Blu-ray discs able to hold 7.5 gigabytes. The discs will appear in North America around October for use in handheld camcorders by Hitachi. Verbatim and Hitachi teaming up to bring Blu-ray home for the masses to record HD footage of their children opening Christmas presents? Hell yeah.

This isn't really PS3-related or Sony-related, but it is Blu-ray related thus we feel it's important to keep you guys up to date on Blu-ray's adoption into the mainstream. Not to spark a flame, but there's been no news of handheld camcorders using mini HD DVD's, you know? What do you guys think: does this prove that the next format of choice is Blu-ray, or are Verbatim and Hitachi wasting their time making a mini BD for the future of HD recording?

see thats what the psp should use, in stead of my idea of the mem stick lets have a umd that holds 7GB, but that would create a problem considering that the psp doesnt have a blu ray player

Just a little problem dont you think? Maybe for the psp2 whenever that is theyll use min blurays. We'll see...
