There could be a few problems with it, but that would be quite good on one disc... now where's those holographic discs lol (if you remember them)

Impressive, such a massive jump

I don't want one!

imagine the amount of games you can store in one of them!! *drools*

At current standards, around 40 would seem about right, lol.

i wonder how much it'll cost, $1000 !!!!!!!!

Nah, optical media is dirt cheap to make. I could image a writeable version costing, at most, £20. The writer would be over £100. That's only starting price, and it would quickly drop.

wow that is so much better than dvd dual layers which are pretty expensive for their capacity

They were expensive, but they're only 38p a disk now.

my god...argos rips ppl off ;(

Don't consumables on the high street, it nearly always costs a fortune.
