TDK is showing off its 200GB Blu-ray disc at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas next week.

There are few details as yet (as it wants journos to turn up to its press briefing), but most likely you can expect the disc to be available in the US first before making its way to the UK. But at 200GB, it's going to be a mass storage device for those with heavy backup needs. It could also herald a new type of movie box set - as a single disc.

Being a new year, the Blu-ray camp must be hoping for a better 2007, as 2006 was fraught with set backs for their high definition standard, while HD-DVD managed to get products out on time, and with slashed prices, at a cost that attracted consumers.
