new disc that holds 50 gb of data

my friend told me microsoft was mkaing a new disc able to hold a lot of data, it was like twice as much as a blue ray, can anyone confirm this?

Blu-ray holds 50 GB.. That proves he was lying to you or misinformed.. As for Microsoft creating a new disc i am unaware of this.

Its possible maybe, but nothing that the disk drive in the xbox 360 could read, Ive heard of Red Ray disks, which are apparently superior to Blue Ray.l0ve

blu-ray can hold 60gigs on one side and when they start doing double layer it will be 120 gigs. So if anything microsoft would be adding blu-ray to their next system.[QUOTE="Riku09990"]

Wrong, the maxium of a blu-ray is 50, and that is with dual layer included.

i think this is it

If anything,microsoft would have its next console come witha dvd drive but, most of its games would be digital distributed. now, their is a company that says they have been testing their 20-30gb disks on red lasers and have come to a conclusion that it works.I had a link to it before now I have to dig down deep 2 yrs of forums and threadsto find it.

I've read an article that says the same thing before, but I think it's 500gb not 50gb.

I don't think if made, the 360 will be able to read it. I just think the next Xbox should come with a blu ray player, next gen will need more storage and it will be the movie form of choice (its already mine).

Yes that was the recent article that got people talking. New ways of putting massive amount of data onto a disc, but just because it looks similar to a DVD doesn't mean that it is one, in the same way that a CD isn't a DVD.

Anyway all this speculation about new capacity discs is irrelevant for this generation of consoles. This really is technology still in development, and it will be many years before they get the cost of it down to a level where it can be easily incorporated into a console without giving it a massive price tag. The 360 has DVDs, the PS3 has Blu-ray, and that is what they will have until they get replaced by the next generation of consoles in several years time.

Pioneer has developed a blueray disc that holds 400GB. (16 layer, 25GB each) They are also trying to have a TB disc out by 2013. (that's 1,000GB) Compare that to the current GB Xbox 360 around 8.5GB and Ps3 around 50GB

Microsoft doesn't care about discs. They know that the future is in digital distribution, as the popularity of iphone apps, itunes, xbla, wiiware, playstation store, and xbox originals has proved. Now Microsoft is releasing 360 games on xbox live for download.

um to the one who said digital distribution- i dont think so , ,

psp go will only sell to those who want it

there needs to be in store copie or else not every one will buy as they do now , ,
