January 10, 200620 yr Source: Official Xbox Magazine, February 2006, Pg 90 UNVEILED Another next-generation optical storage format: holographic. If you thought HD-DVD (45GB Capacity) or Blu-Ray (50GB max) were cool, get a load of this: Holographic discs use 3D halographic images to store 1.6 terabytes or (1600gb) on a single disk. That means it could hold approximately 320 copies of halo 2, The first generation of the media, due out at the end of the year, will hold "only" 300GB, We'd like to see Tomonobu Itagaki, who's been critical of the Xbox 360's 9GB DVD capacity, complain about that for the Xbox 720. *speachless*
January 10, 200620 yr JEEEEEEEZ! But I bet those discs will cost like $500 each before they become "Mainstream" Hey.
January 10, 200620 yr Psh, some how i dont think this will get into the mainstream as it seems to me it will be a rather expensive form of data storeage. Still rather interesting though..
January 10, 200620 yr Would anyone actually have enough data to put onto those discs? :? ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.
January 10, 200620 yr Possibly big companys that host several servers which take up hundred of thousands of gbs of space. Hell, even Jagex might have a use for these things.
January 10, 200620 yr Would anyone actually have enough data to put onto those discs? :? The books in the U.S. Library of Congress, one of the largest libraries in the world, contain a total of about 20 terabytes of text. Neglecting images, the content could be stored on a little more than 6 of these discs. :P

January 10, 200620 yr But there aren't many of those libraries in the world. Anyway, the world tends to have more and more data as times goes on. I can see these being mainstream in like 20 years, when we will think a double core processor is completely jurassic :P ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me
January 10, 200620 yr yeah um........I love the simplicity of NES and the older consoles, gaming is getting too compelex (and expensive) for me anymore Metal fans, check out my band!Still the King....
January 10, 200620 yr Wow :shock: . The first type of disk (300gb) is almost double my hard drive! I have read before that the disk can be written over after the data is there. I also heard that the disk is a couple inches think, can anybody confirm this?

January 10, 200620 yr Those will never take off. *hugs floppy disks* These will definently take off. *hugs betamax cassettes*

I'd like to see the library of congress stack up against some porn warehouse :P I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.

Look for television, movie, and music producing giants to use these discs ;)

Also itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s worth mentioning that Tapestries cd-drive (Not a burner) costs $15000 and the cd's cost $120, itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s a long way until they become affordable and burnable.
January 10, 200620 yr New storage systems already? But I havent even used a USB drive yet... :( The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak. In the event that the weighted companion cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice.
January 10, 200620 yr I don't really see what all the fuss is about. You can store more stuff, like always. Was this really so unexpected or surprising? Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
January 10, 200620 yr Those will never take off. *hugs floppy disks* These will definently take off. *hugs betamax cassettes*lol, *hugs punch cards* Oh yea! Man, I could backup my entire HDD onto one of them... wonder how long it'd take to burn to disk though :lol:
January 10, 200620 yr whys everyone sayin thats a reason xbox "pwns", microsoft didnt invent it, they're just piggybacking the technology.
