Though I don't quite think this went aimed at the PS3.

*sigh*
You dont understand the point do you?
Lug around a hard drive with you? Or keep a single disc in it's own jacket and be able to bring it anywhere with you. Not to mention, you wouldn't need to plug it in to anything, you just insert and BAM - you got data.

Ooooook then. Win?

A "couple of bucks"? It will be many years before that's the case! Cheap 25GB BD-R discs are still $10, or 40 cents/GB. At that cost per GB, a 500 GB disc would cost $200! And we all know that big storage is more expensive than little storage when first introduced, so the real price would likely be much, much higher.

This is really cool, though I'm worried about how long it would take for the burners to be affordable. I personally don't think a 500GB Blu-Ray disc is or will be of use to consumers at all in the near future. For commercial use, it's simply another necessary step forward in data backup technology.

I LOLed, but you just reinvented holographic storage. There's already a holographic burner on the market.

Um, that's not the point. Nice name OpTicaL

Thank you. We all understand that. The poster you quoted was exercising something called foresight.

that's just ridiculous..... you could put like 10 blu rays on there, that's like 2+ seasons of a tv show!

So when do we start seeing spindles of 50 regular bluray discs for $15.95? Cause I just had to do a lot of system backup using DVD+RDL and I'm quite ready to upgrade to blu ray now.

It's about time these large capacity disks started becoming a reality. With ever increasing large hard drives, backing up is becoming a serious hassle with such tiny discs, and blu-ray is still taking its time becoming the norm. When you have 500GB hard drives at near full capacity, do you really expect someone to back up using regular DVDs? Even 50GB dual layer blu-ray discs are barely acceptable for backup purposes.

Good idea - but I can see this disc getting damaged/raped/pillaged/mutilated in various ways.

HDD all the way!
