Forums - Sales Discussion - Bluray=Win, Fanboy predictions flop as 1 TB Disk looms.

A one TB (1024 gig) Bluray disk is in the works and should be hitting the shelves in about 2013. The best part? It will work with all bluray players:

And looks like Bluray is being adapted faster then DVD was:

So only one question remains: Will a blu future make haters see red?

Wouldn't 1 TB be 1024 GB's?



Pixel Art can be fun.

Give or take.

 



wow, it will hold a lot of porn, will a game even need 1 TB of space next gen? Probably no, but it is still amazing for other things

That's more then 99 percent of peoples harddrives. Win.

don't think anyone cares, i mean you won't even need that much space next gen much less this gen and for movies it's completely worthless. I guess you could back up your whole hard drive on 1 disk although i bet it be slow and take ages to burn



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Wow, talk about horrendous overkill.

How the devil would you write to something like that?



Ok, Steroid, I'll start by letting you know that I would like as much as you for Blu Ray to do well.

It's already been revealed that these won't work on the PS3 (and so presumably not on any Blu Ray player came up) There was a thread created when this news was actually new, so that's how I know this.

Now that we know that these disks will require consumers to buy a new (and even more expensive) Blu Ray player, why would they bother? What can you do with 1 TB that you can't with 50gb. The transition to some 50gb games is one of the reasons many devs are going out of business - if you try to fill the 50 gb, the game costs too much to make.

The only possible purpose of these would be blu ray drives in computers, but considering the current write speed of Blu Rays, it is once again useless.

Sorry, I really am. Keep looking for good news for BluRay though :)

Post a link to back up your claims please.



I like buying disks for my movies, hell I even have a massive vinyl collection, but I refuse to buy Blu-Ray until the movie prices come down by about 50%
