Report: Sony has produced a disc format "20x better" than Blu-Ray.

sweet, now i can watch Jonah Hex 20x faster!

yeah whats 20x better? speed? storage? durability?

ok good for them.....

[QUOTE="ampiva"]Learn to read. It says 20x the capacity, not the speed.HelloMoto56

Anyway, I don't think people really care for more storage at the moment. It would be better if they could make if faster.

yeah whats 20x better? speed? storage? durability?

20x right of the 100gb blu-ray? Oh man I hope HVD Release in the same time fram micosoft uses HVD.

yeah whats 20x better? speed? storage? durability?

Sony never learns? You realize they made Blue Ray the new standard disc format? You have any idea how much money they make from Blue Ray? You realize this means that games can get even more expansive? Sony will willingly lose money on the next Playstation to make this technology an industry standard.

Sony is fighting a losing battle. Physical media is a thing of the past. As internet speeds get inevitably faster, more and more media will be streamed to the consumer. Digital media is already out pacing Blu-Ray in America where internet speeds are still extremely slow. Who goes out and buys a cd anymore? Same thing will happen to movies and in the future games.

Sony should settle down a bit, lol. Between BLU RAY, THE CELL, 3D, and what have you, they seem quite mad to instantly have all this new tech everywhere. Settle down Sony give us a chance to catch up :Plocopatho

yeah, but it can always be another Betamax. causing them more loss.

it'd be wise to wait this one out for the 'PS5' or whatever. another Blu-Ray iteration wouldn't be detrimental, as there's ranges above 50. heck 25, there hasn't been much need above 25 to this date.

Is there another link? I'm not giving the Examiner hits. They make a joke gaming journalism. Trying to find an article with more than a few words is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

So that's like 1tb disks? I don't see that being necessary in the next few years. I mean it would be great for backing up files etc. but for a single game or a movie that's overkill. And that kind of development would conflict with digital distribution which will propably be a pretty big thing next gen.ManicAce

Actually in movie with 1TB you probably could hold uncommpressed movie that would incress qulity specially in scenes with fast movment

It's not tough for me to cover my tracks.

wouldn't you consider 2 games as 'not much'?

No, Betamax was a different story. Sony wasn't as entrenched in the digital entertainment distribution as they are today with betamax. And betamax lossed out because porn signed with VHS, true story. Today Sony does the filming for most major sports including the NFL, MLB, and World Cup. They are a major distributor of movies as well.

Hmm. I wonder if Sony's actually going to add this in PS4. maybe this new media format will work well and support 2560x1600 native resolution video to go with new 1600p 3DTVs that may come out 2011,2012,2013 or 2014 then the next consoles arrive. I can imagine Nintendo and Microsoft getting a blu-ray drive when sonys already way past that.

............ok, thats all fine and well...but at what cost for the consumer? After the very "successful" 600$ PS3, you'd think they would learn their lesson and make a more affordable console.

With this economic crisis still raging in many countries, do you think people will shell out more than 400$ for a damn console? Heck no! I mean, yeah bigger and better games would be awesome to the max, but very few people are willing to pay such high prices 2 gens in a row.

I myself own a PS2 and a PS3, but if they make their PS4 ultra expensive, then I'm moving to either Nintendo or Microsoft.

You missed the point. Making the new format the standard takes precedence over the success of the console. There is more money in it.

they signed with HD-DVD this time around. but that wasn't so damaging because of the internet.

HD-DVD wasa risky battle in one way or another. and there's still chances for competition, if an opponent is in development.

didn't they have to pay off Warner(400 million)for BD exclusivity just to end it? unless that was something else. if not, then it was a close fight and said risk is there regardless.

I don't think Blu-Ray was the biggest problem for developers. early on, of course.

that would be the processor architecture in the PS3.

anyhow, I agree with keeping Blu-Ray for the sake of the consumer and developer. I'm not really understanding why we'd need to jump to a whole TB when we've crammed so much into DVDs and that Blu-Ray researchers have yielded tech for 200-400 Gb Blu-Rays.

the need for a Blu-Ray to HVR just isn't as dire as DVD to Blu-Ray.but who am I to know.

maybe there will be enough pros to make it 'that much better' read speeds are probably the only thing saving it though.
