As for Holo discs... sorry but if you take into consideration that the Co. that has made all the work has gone down (so the price won't go down to affordable levels in a long, long time), add the fact that Blu-Ray sales haven't been as good as expected (has it surpassed DVDs already?) and take into consideration the push that has been given to digital content, I don't see a very bright future for holo discs. |
The point I was making was that Nintendo are clearly interested in that technology in general. InPhase wasn't the only company working on Holographic discs, just the one that holds the joint-patent with Nintendo. Also, the company hasn't actually gone down, it's declared bankruptcy - there is actually a difference. The company does still exist.
EDIT: Hmmm... looks like they've sold off most of their assets, though. Interestingly, someone picked them up, and are preparing to start shipping very soon:

Anyway, looks like they may actually have found a way around the flaws that InPhase had, and have a better business plan. I don't have a clue what the prices are going to look like, though.
