Bill said next gen DVD's were the last physical format, but just in case they're not: HVD
Because that 50GB Blu-ray disc just won't be big enough of course. Oh no, what you really need is a 200GB
Holographic Versatile Disc. Luckily for you, Optware will be giving you much more of what you're looking for in 2006,
which they announced yesterday. Of course, at $30K a drive that might be a bit expensive for your tastes, but I mean hey, you read Luxist every day right? You're a baller, go buy three, and some of the $100 discs they expect to sell while you're at it. Maybe Toshiba should throw in the towel on this HD-DVD thing and focus on lowering costs on this technology that they have already invested in, just a thought.

Maybe the discs are so expensive because they have deviated from the standard size. Perhaps it is just an illusion in the picture but it looks to me that the yellow disc is not the same size as a standard disc, which means that you can not modify the current manufacturing equipment to create the same discs. This is surely going to create a more expensive disc then anything else.
