The birth of a Blu-ray: inside the manufacturing plant

by Andrew Yoon { Jul 29th 2009 at 11:00PM }

Were you ever curious as to how a Blu-ray disc is manufactured? NEWS.com.au took a rare look into one of Sony's DADC factories and took some snapshots detailing the disc's journey from plastic crystal pieces all the way to the finished product. As you can see here, the factory is hard at work on the PAIN Blu-ray game, which is available exclusively in Europe.

just looked at the back of my ps3 games and the newer ones say that they were made in Australia. I guess they were born in that very factory.

I like stuff like this, but it's always best as part of a filmed documentary, Discovery Channel style. I'd love to actually see and hear all the mechanisms at work. The pics and descriptions are still very interesting from a nerdy point of view, though :)
