>>>
These discs have the capacity to hold up to 3.9 terabytes (TB) of information, which is approximately 5,800 times the capacity of a CD-ROM, 850 times the capacity of a DVD, 160 times the capacity of single-layer Blu-ray Discs, and about 4 times the capacity of the largest computer hard drives as of 2007. The HVD also has a transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s (128 MB/s).

Betamax, VHS, and laserdisc are dead. CDs and DVDs however are quite alive. Did DVDs replace CD's despite being practically as cheap to produce nowadays? nope...

blu ray won't be dead for a LOOOOOOOOONGGGGGGG time. And those HVDs sound quite expensive 🙂

i remember seeing similar claims about holographic storage since . . . oh, let's say 1992 and every year since

definitely a case of "I'll believe it when it's at newegg"

I think Blu-Ray may turn in to the next CD. I hope it does. 1080P is great and I don't think I would notice a difference between it and something much much higher resolution (something we would see on HVD). I imagine this is why Sony was so hellbent on getting Blu-Ray to win-- 3 hours of 1080P video highest quality (HD-DVD couldn't do this); we'll have little reason to upgrade again, just like how we are with CD.

HVD may come to computers; don't see a reason for movies though.

Heck. I'm still waiting for the dust to settle on the VHS vs. BetaMax fight, before I make a final decision on which to buy. 😉
