Sony’s 50 gigabyte Blu-ray movies announced

A fifty-gigabyte Blu-ray disc. That’s pretty much the equivalent of something GINORMOUS in the movie and videogame industry, and its first outing into the consumer world of Blu-ray lovers will be Adam Sandler‘s “Click,” aptly enough.

Sony recently confirmed the news of this 50 GB version of the Blu-ray format by announcing the first three titles in their line-up of movies. The first movie they’ll be releasing is “Click,” which will be out on October 10. Next is “Black Hawk Down,” which will hit store shelves on November 14. “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” will be the third title they’ll have out, and will be showing up for movie buffs to pick up on December 12.

The three titles will be packed with bonus features, such as deleted scenes, director’s commentaries and, in the case of “Talladega Nights,” Ricky and Cal’s commercials and public service announcements. While that does put a lot of bang for your movie-loving buck, we can’t help but wonder. Four 50 GB Blu-ray discs can play a standard-definition version (at 23 hours running time per disc) of the 87-hour movie, “Cure for Insomnia.” They could have gotten an entire legendary movie in as their starting release! Oh well. Check your local movie shop when these Blu-ray movies come out.
