Freesy Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 yeah um........I love the simplicity of NES and the older consoles, gaming is getting too compelex (and expensive) for me anymore *high-fives* Whoo go NES!

ford_rule Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 this technology is useless for games, it would take too long to make a game to fit it lmao, like 7 times halo who can make a game like that lol. one use for this technology is the space industry. i did work experience down at my "local" radio telescope and we had to send a package off to nasa for analaysis, it was only a terrabyte of information, yet it weighed about 5 kilo and as big as a briefcase lol. nasa has gigabytes comin in daily from each mission, so these disks would come in handy sortin thru mission files.

Bubsa Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'm just trying to think if I could emulate my PS2, rip all of my Playstation 1 + 2 games onto this disk...and I think I can :shock: This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hate to see this idea wasted on Xbox... Oh how true. Its a constant battle between all the consoles. First, the PS it had a basic CD reader. Not alot of memory. Then, the PS2 which had DVD reader. Alot more memory. Then the Xbox came along with it aswell. The PS3 will have blu-ray. Alot more memory. Now Xbox has holo disks? It shant be long until Sony make the PS4 with super-memory-sticks-of-the-win with about treble that of holo disks or what ever they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Holographic storage has been in development for quite a while, this information isn't really particularily fresh. It is an interesting concept though, but you shouldn't be expecting it for quite a while yet. Sure, they may claim that the first versions will be released soon, but there's quite a long road from there to personal consumer products :P HD-DVD/Blu-ray will live for quite a while though. When it comes to movies, there is no real need for more storage than either of these offer. For now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barking-Loon Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I wonder how long it would take to burn one of those full of data :o A recent study shows that 92% of all teenagers have small purple pet elephants named Jack.

LP Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 I wonder how long it would take to burn one of those full of data :o I read 1gbps to 1.6tb = 1600seconds = 26.6666666..... Min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiden2k2 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 -Climax- Dear GOD am I excited! This a freaking REVOLUTION in the Console gaming world. 320 copies of Halo 2 is one SERIOUS amount of data on one disk. Edit: Hehehe.. I was reading page two, and someone called them "Holo disks", and that's when I remembered the Halo Novels. Disks the marines carried were called "Holo Disks". Perhaps Bungie, Microsoft, and Eric Nylund have known about this for awhile. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papickett Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 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* Wow. Itagaki, you crazy developer, we still love you even though you hate the 360's disc capacity :D Gamertag: Dances w NinjasRetired(Oh noes!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oy_the_Great Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I've been told that that 2 years ago by my prof of Informatics ;) He told us that it's very simple; a disc can be read by the laser in different angles because there can be more 'layers' of bit storage, DVDs already have 2, the next generation might have hundreds ad you stated. I guess the picture speaks for itself :) Bill Hicks[/url]":dhj2kan9]Since the one thing we can say about fundamental matter is, that it is vibrating. And since all vibrations are theoretically sound, then it is not unreasonable to suggest that the universe is music and should be perceived as such.

That seems ridiculously fast, it just depends on your disc drive, not on your CD. Right now it's not even more than 5mB right?

uk_swat Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Possibly big companys that host several servers which take up hundred of thousands of gbs of space.

xmashacker Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 This idea a perfect idea the biggest grandtheftauto game man... that would be awesome. It could be in the intire world that's what I call a good game I would get it. Even thoe if they make a game so big you would never beat it unless you played it like 4 years strait that would be messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
