About the new format from Dreamstream and how it will be better then Blu-Ray in almost every aspect (if true of course)

It's safe to say that companies will be very interested in this new technology for things other then Movies and competing with Blu-Ray.

" For consumers, RDM’s increase in storage capacity allows for a single disc to hold approximately four hours of video content at 1920p resolution.

Because RDM’s system is based on inexpensive red laser technology, their players are expected to sell for much less than Sony’s, which routinely sell for hundreds of dollars. The high price of Blu-ray players has been credited for the technology’s slow public reception. "

With a cheap way for companies like Nintendo, MS, even Sony, to get storage and HD out of old Red Lazor technology it seems like a very useful idea for them to utilize the technology.

For Sony it will be a cheaper way for them to get the most out of their New PsP, no need to install an expensive Blu-Laser, but rather stick with the Red Laser, and UMD, might be new life to UMD, but they might have to change the name to RDMM's  (RDM-Mini's)

Nintendo will certainly keep their eye on this new format to help with their next console.

MS wants the digital download to become thee way of home entertainment, but next gen isn't going to be the gen of Download only games and movies, so they might not have a choice but to go with it.

PC makers will welcome the new idea because you can upgrade the PC, replace your old drive, that simple..

Wonder how the game developers might feel... I mean with the new military encryption, will it make it harder for the dev's?
