"bring on holographic storage as HDD replacement" Amen!!!
Both Blu-Ray & HD-DVD are such a waste. Though very expensive holographic storage is coming out this June, prices will drop and before you know it and.....
I just hope when it comes out, Sony or any one won't come up with a second way of storage making this one into a 'format wars'.
Another proof HD-discs won't go mainstream.. When was the last time any one went to a movie theatre and said, "Wow! Look at that beautiful 70mm movie image!"
Most movies are still recorded on 35mm film, but 70mm offers by far, a much better image than HD-DVD does over standard DVDs. Simple basic math... Divide a 35mm frame into 720 x 480 units (pixels). 70mm film has 4 times the area of 35mm so that gives 2880 x 1920 units (pixels), much more than HD is presently offering!
Be very leary of any one who says they see a 'big difference' in DVD formats. Rather, be wise, check for yourself, that's the best and only way!
Our Home Theatre set up projects a 12' screen with standard DVDs and it is easily as sharp and clear as anything you see in a genuine for-real Movie theatre. The people who visit my home unanamously agree!
That's without HD!
