Sony working to make Blu-ray obsolete

Someone might find this interesting. I'm still yet to buy a DVD player, or a 'decent' TV for that matter.

1. Uses new laser technology
2. Discs will hold 25 times more data
3. Can hold up to 50 hi-def movies

SONY, in partnership with Tohoku University, said it has developed a new laser technology that will allow it to encode discs with 25 times more data then a standard Blu-ray disc.
Each of the new discs will have a total capacity of one terabyte, or 1024 gigabytes.
The all-semiconductor laser technology uses an extremely condensed wavelength of 405 nanometres and generates high-powered optical pulses at three picoseconds, or three-trillionths of a second.
Technical details aside, this ultimately could mean big things for a next-generation disc format, particular for high definition films, television and video games.
Currently a standard dual-layer Blu-ray disc provides 50 gigabytes of maximum data capacity, which is rarely ever reached by games or movies.
However, with up to one terabyte of data at their disposal, publishers could pack multiple titles - up to 50 hi-def movies or entire seasons of television series - on a single disc.

Already?

That's the same capacity as my 1 TB hard drive.

wat

Blu-Ray was a joke to begin with, and now this seals the deal.

DVD's ftw.

Blu-ray is the betamax of movie disks.

(anybody even remember beta?)

Yep,and Sony spent alot of money by beating out toshiba's HD-DVD to be the "new standard" of DVD so this wouldnt be the next betamax.

I really just don't see the point with Blu-Ray..

 

[Yamamoto McMotoyama-san]

My Dad bought us a beta video player. We were excited for about an hour until we went to the video shop and there was like 20 videos for beta and about a billion for vhs. =/

Neither do I. I don't sit right up in front of my tv anyway, so DVD is all the clarity I need.

 

[revolva]

NZ always uses beta and to be honest the picture quality is superior

 

[bobbytomorow]

I really just don't see the point with Blu-Ray..

storage capacity
uncompressed digital audio
1080p video

if you have an hdtv and a decent audio setup its a crime not to use blu ray imo, dvd was the pinnacle for 640x480 but that shits obsolete

newsflash: tech company r&d'ing new thing to replace current thing

i dont even own a tv. nothing can compare with the immersion of a leather-bound novel salvaged from a forgotten corner of a used book store :smug:

For a tape cassette yes it is.

The REAL reason VHS dominated the market was that the tapes were harder to steal due to the size. If you notice, the baggy pockets on "hip hop" fashioned pants are exactly the right size to steal small items from electronics stores. The small investment of $100 in a pair of those pants gives a teenager the ability to steal thousands of dollars of merchandise due to the fact that they can wear them over and over again.

TRUTH.

 

[Mick]

I've had a ps3 since it first appeared and have only watched maybe 2 blu-rays.
Sonys best invention was the usb port on the front imo :joint:

 

[Keef]

its a sony ..hey mick me mate the master farter

Bata had better picture quality, VHS players were cheaper.. the majority of VCR owners took the cheaper option.. a £75 price difference in 1980 was a weeks wage for some
