"Optware Corp., the developer of Collinear Holographic* Data Storage System, announced today that it had achieved successfully world's first recording and play back of digital movies on a holographic recording disc with a reflective layer using Optware's revolutionary Collinear Holography. This is a major milestone for commercializing holographic data storage system."

1 Terrabyte, Wow Definatly high def movies, And games would have almost no limit to size.

That's old news.... the real question is when will it become manufacturable for consumer use?

Ahem, "This type of disc has been said to be inadequate because preformatted address pits generate diffusion noise during read / write, thus deteriorate the signal quality.
Optware has overcome this problem by applying a dichroic mirror layer between the recording and reflective layers. This dichroic mirror layer blocks the diffusion by the address pits, allowing ideal collinear holographic recording."

Meaning they have overcome signal degrading which was a BIG problem that Holographic storage had. Hence, Not old new.
