I don't think that there will be another format after HDDVD/BR ...even now broadband is widely available and by 2012 i think that almost anyone in western countries will have access to some form of broadband (think of WiMax, HSDPA etc etc): you want a game? you'll download it... no more scratched discs: everything you've bought is in your personal DB (Steam anyone?) and you can retrieve it whenever you want (saving HD space)
oh, almost forgot: you want a movie?...you'll download it ...You have an "old" BR/HDDVD disc? ok, you can play it in the multiformat drive (or better: you can buy a stand alone drive for 40/50$ )...
my two cents: NO new format...and (probably) NO drive. |
I think we will see a lot of improvement on the download-area, but I think we will be using the Holographic Vesatile Discs(15 Terabyte) and Protein-Coated Discs(300 Terabyte) around 2020-2030. Dont know what I'm talking about? Wkipedia search it.
