Found this info:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/12/n...prietary-disc/
Now I'm not sure if its to do with some sort of never-before-seen-proprietary-rounded-edge-security, or just a detail... seems a bit odd to me.
and these:
So the Wii U disk has a black layer that is copy protected. What I think this means(and I could be wrong so this is a guess) is that if people are looking forward to emulate Wii U games on the PC will be s*** out of luck.

the disc is bluray-based tech, but doesnt use the bluray codec because nintendo doesnt want to pay the licencing fee.
but is has the same capacity as a bluray disc and the laser is similar.

*not sure about "codec" in that quote, more like license?
It uses a blue laser, it is see through just like blu-ray and has the same scratch resistant coating... It is blu-ray.

Wikipedia just points to BCA as you mentioned before..
Has anyone tried putting a WiiU disc in a BD reader in their PC or laptop, or maybe even tried reading it through MMOS on their PS3??
I want to know more about the format too.
