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 *high-fives* Whoo go NES! I would hate to see this idea wasted on Xbox...
January 10, 200620 yr 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.
January 10, 200620 yr 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.
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 *high-fives* Whoo go NES! 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.
January 10, 200620 yr 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.

January 10, 200620 yr 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. Put this in your sig if you are one of the 8% who like to do the fandango on Wednesday afternoons
January 10, 200620 yr Author 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.
January 10, 200620 yr -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
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* 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!)
January 11, 200620 yr 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?

January 24, 200620 yr Old'd I heard about this two or three years ago. 400GB discs for like $50 a piece and burners/readers for about $400,000 It'll come down, but hell, we need to find a format and stick with it...

January 24, 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. Probably :) 23 whip pks,3 dhorka,2 ahrims lvl 119 attack 99 strength 99 and defence 92 plus 94 mage
January 31, 200620 yr 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.

Probably :) Heck, they could even increase the size of worlds over 2000 players. Wouldn't that be wild?
