commecialized in 18/24 months so figure another ~5 years to be main stream... br and hd are dead for sure no one in thier right mind would buy into something relating to movies if in 5 year they would have to buy thier collection AGAIN. good thing ms didnt waist thier money and our by forcing us to buy a non-standard format.

Just one problem, imagine how long the read time would be for "only" 1Tb...

Will this protein dvd work in normal dvd players ?

Looks like the two formats are outdated already.

Organic is always better isn't it?

i dont think us gamers will buy this product unless u want to store mass data, its nothing good, i dont want worms in my pc man...and it will expensive so i say u need to wait atleast 10 years for it to be affordable($1000) trust me i am an anylist. ~_'

Hey, I read that story twice because I was trying to understand what the hell that guy was talking about....but then I remembered that I don't know a damm that about micro-biology so no need to keep reading. I do know that 50 terabytes is like almost an infinite amount of space (not quite but you get the point) I don't believe this will be someting needed for games....yeah I can see it being useful for more high tech things for the military and satellite's, etc. but what the hell will it do for games?....how much can dev's put into games? how long will it be? who wants to play a single game for 100's or a 1000 hrs? personally I don't want to invest 1000 hrs. of my life just to beat a single game. I understand that these are theoretical questions and I'm far from an expert but the point is we are really just talking about videogames. Sometimes less is more, I would rather play a kick a$$ game for a few hours every day and eventually beat it in 2 or 3 weeks, then move on to a new experience. It seems like the techies are trying to sell us the "ultimate" videogame because it has more space, hey we do know its possible to make a huge/long game with 100's of feature's and its still boring, only its more massively boring. Yeah if it improves the gameplay/graphics then I'm down, but I don't want to pay $120 for a disc with a bunch of extra content like "The Making of the Game" from start to finish and then we all end up watching some dev sitting on the toilet when he first came up with the idea for this new game....all in the name of filling up gigs and gigs of space.....NO THANKS!....I just want to play the damm game IF its worth it!

It’s not about them making an expensive disk for gamming or anything like that. What this is saying is using existing DVD media with a slight modification they can increase the capacity exponentially and most likely for very little cost to consumers. The other big factor to this is current HD-DVD and BLU-Ray while yielding larger capacity than DVD, both still have to use compression to hold full HD quality movies. This technology basically puts both of them out of date because of the huge increase in size. Analysts have been saying the cost associated with HD-DVD, and especially BLU-RAY for the marginal gains we get doesn’t seem to be worth the effort or cost of a format change. This is just the technology we have been waiting for and this solves a lot of space issues we were running into on DVD type media. While over kill for games at this time it would become a cost affective solution, leaving us not to try and find new media to hold data in the future driving down the cost of gamming systems like PS3 which realizes on BLU-RAY.
