The PlayStation 3 reads both formats of Blu-Ray Disks (Dual Layer, Single Layer). The capacity of these disks vary by manufacturer and model (i.e. with DVD-R and DVD+R) however, the two main capacities are 50GB and 100GB.

CDs, DVDs and BluRay discs all work in similar ways. The primary difference is the data density on each disc. CD is the lowest density. A DVD can store several times the amount of data on the same surface area and BluRay will store several time the amount of a DVD.

Does a Sony Blu-ray play 3d Blu-ray?
Bluray players are backwards compatible so they will play standard DVDs as well as Bluray discs. Note that although the DVD is being played by a Bluray player, it does not make it HD quality. Some bluray players will up-convert the standard definition image from 480 or 576 lines up to 1080 lines but although the format is HD, the image quality still remains standard definition.
Has the CD changed since it was invented?
Yes. In recent years obvious changes in Compact Disc technology include higher density discs and multiple data layers, as found in DVD and HD-DVD. In addition Bluray discs use a different type of laser, using ultra violet light instead of infa red. Though these are marketed as newer formats they essentially are still compact discs.
North American blu-ray player play region 2 bluray discs?
North America is classed as region 1 for DVD, Bluray and games coding. The codes are there specifically to prevent discs from one region being used in another. Region 2 covers Europe. There have been a handful of DVD players that did not check the region code and would play discs from any region. Bluray players appear to be far more tightly controlled and it is very unlikely that any commercially available player will allow the coding to be bypassed. It is possible that players can be modified to remove the coding restrictions but these are unofficial modifications, void warranties and cannot be guaranteed to work continuously. As frustrating as the region coding is, the easiest and lowest cost route to take is to buy discs intended for use on your own player. Note that as the region coding is a commercial protection, non commercial DVD and Bluray discs do not have the code and can be handled by any player. That is subject to the player and the television handling European 50Hz content. The US normally uses 60Hz video so there is still no guarantee that your specific setup will work. It's a case of studying the manuals to make sure.

VLC cannot in its standard download form from http://www.videolan.org play BluRay discs but there are some files that you can download and use with VLC which can potentially allow you to play BluRay discs, both unprotected and copyrighted. You can find the page discussing those files at http://www.videolan.org/developers/libbluray.htmlNow, take note that these files developed by their various projects do not allow you to make illegal copies or otherwise do anything contrary to law. All they allow are for the legal playback of said discs on a computer.

Is Smaller computers and devices cannot use optical storage discs?
False, They can use optical storage discs.
Can you play DVDs on a blueray player?
It truly depends on the BRDVD player in question. Blue-Ray and DVD use different light wavelength for their lasers, and are not directly compatible (DVD and HD-DVD are). There are a few "dual-head" players that provide two laser sources, and hence can play both Blue-Ray and DVD/HDDVD discs. But, like I said, it depends on the player if it supports that functionality. It isn't that uncommon, though. On the PC market for example, 'combo' devices that combine DVD-burning abilities with Blu-Ray playback have existed for some time.
