Sony Electronics says they have begun U.S. shipments of Sony 50GB dual layer Blu-ray Disc recordable media that features AccuCORE technology. Sony has also confirmed their plans to start shipping 50GB dual layer rewritable BD media later this year. According to Mike Lucas, director of marketing for Sony Electronics' Media and Application Solutions Division, the arrival of 50GB Blu-ray Disc media is an important milestone in the evolution of this new format. Mr. Lucas says also that the capacity represents more than four hours of HD quality video, at a 24 Mbps transfer rate, allowing users to take full advantage of Sony's Blu-ray Disc burners and VAIO desktop and notebook computers.

Mike Lucas says also that Sony's AccuCORE technology has been re-engineered for Blu-ray Disc media, with its major benefits including scratch guard, archival reliability to prevent data/image corruption and deterioration, stable writing that reduces fluctuation as the disc spins, and temperature durability to prevent warping during severe changes in temperature and humidity. Sony's 50GB dual layer recordable disc has a suggested retail price of around $48.
