I see no reason for this to be a big deal. Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, Hitatchi, and TDK will not sit around long before announcing they have accepted the 100GB discs. Blu-ray is the better format and their is no getting around it. A stalemate will not work as retail will not allow it. One of these formats has to become the standard, because their is not enough shelf space to have 2 versions of every film.

To thouse that are questioning the nessecity of all of this room. Lord of the Rings: Return of the King was 34GB at 19Mb/s data rates when brodcast on HDTV. Blu-ray has data rates upto 48Mb/s so you would be looking at around 75GB to get that movie in Blu quality throught. I beleive that New Line is waiting for the 100GB Blu-ray to get the go ahead then they will announces the Trilogy in HD.

As far as the video game sector goes, I have a strong feeling that FFXIII will be one of a few games this gen that is on a 100GB Blu-ray disc.

Do you really believe that by next year (when FF13 comes out), 100gig would be possible given the already not-so-great yield of the 50gig? Say they announce 100gb at ces, it normally takes 1 year to get fully approved, another half to year to even get something on it and even if they do start producing stuff on it, the cost is going to be so high due to the horrible yield that it's not even economical to sell. the 100gb most likely is for data storage for PC.

 

 you are a victim of Dave Vaughn i see, its not youre fault though, you probably read it at AVS.

Who the hell is dave vuahgn? i dont even go to avs, sorry.
