Re: Will a PS2 console play 8.5gb double layer discs?

crap missed the edit thing...i think you are inncorrect, i misread your post.


DVD-5 = 4.37 computer GB called Single Sided Single Layered
DVD-10 = 8.75 computer GB called Double Sided Single Layered
DVD-9 = 7.95 computer GB called Single Sided Dual Layered
DVD-18 = 15.9 computer GB called Double Sided Dual Layer


4.5 Dual layer discs do not exist in the way you are thinking

DVD 5 4.7GB
DVD 10 9.4GB
DVD 9 8.5GB
DVD 18 17GB

It's usually marketed that way so easier to identify though they all mean the same things.

It's going to be even more confusing with Blu-ray and HD-DVD. There are already several different sizes and layers even though there is no PC with a built-in Blu-ray or HD-DVD drive yet.
