Rewriteable Blu-ray discs have been around for some time now, but Verbatim has just announced the first Mini Blu-ray Recordable/Rewriteable (BD-R/RE) media in the world. It measures a mere 8cm in diameter and is capable of packing in 7.5GB worth of data. Each disc can store up to an hour’s worth of continuous video capture in high definition, and double the amount at 1,440 x 1,080i resolution. I wonder when the new PSP comes out (not the redesign that will be released next month), will it utilize Mini BD discs? After all, Sony does earn more money if Blu-ray media is used. The Mini BD media is now available in Japan, with plans to release it worldwide shortly after.
