Last time I checked they haven't come out with those just yet.. I heard they were supposed to be coming out around the beginning of summer... but thats a ballpark estimate right there..

yeah right now i think 4.5 gigs is the highest they make. (for now but everytime you turn you head something new comes out)

4.7 is what they are now. I am pretty sure the new ones will be 9.4 cause they're dual layer. Dual = 2 * 4.7 gig = 9.2 gig is my best guess. And the disks and burners will be comming out in the next few months, probably the beginning of summer like he said. So reasonable prices should be in store for this time next year probably
thats my guesses anyways
does anyone know how right i really am??

So I will need to buy a new burner that supports burning 9.2gb dvd's?

I've heard the newer burner will perhaps have firmware upgrades for the duel layers

Im gonna buy one of these when they come out. Just so I dont have to downsample movies and such

but I did hear something a while back about the movie industry trying to keep these from being made publically available bacasue as of righ tnow that is there only true copyright protection. Maybe it was just rumor though
