Pioneer shows off 16-layer 400GB Blu-ray Disc!

Here's an interesting article that my friend, Stan, pointed me towards earlier today. 400GB is a plethora of space, that's even more than my Ps3 right now, hah. With a TB(terabytye) looming in our near future, I don't know what our limits will or can be. Here's the article:
When Pioneer first introduced its unicorn-like 16-layer 400GB Blu-ray Disc, we weren't sure if the thing would make it beyond the drawing board, let alone be compatible with existing BD decks. Over at the IT Month Fair in Taipei, Pioneer showed up to showcase the capacious disc, and better still, a DigiTimes report asserts that these are indeed compatible with Blu-ray readers already on the market. Currently, the 400GB disc is slated to hit mass production sometime between now and 2010, while rewritable versions won't hit until 2010 to 2012. Not like it really matters though -- a 1TB disc is on track for 2013, and you know you'll be waiting for the latest and greatest.
