Sony will ship 50GB BD-R media in June

Sony has started to ship its 25GB writeable singe layer Blu-ray discs and at the same time it has announced that 50GB dual layer discs will arrive in June. TDK has earlier announced that it has 50GB discs coming, but it seems that Sony will be the first to launch these discs. There is a problem though, mainly that there are no Blu-ray burners available and the fact that a 25GB BD-R costs $20, while a 50GB BD-R will cost $48. It’s at least positive to see that media has started to arrive and hopefully the war between HD DVD and Blu-ray could result in some better prices soon.
