I suspect we will see Microsoft's next console as early as Holiday 2009 or latest Holidays 2010. I'm just curious what people think Microsoft will do for a storage medium next-gen. Clearly blu-ray has won but will it be the standard for all types of data? Perhaps some new disc-based format other than blu-ray? Holographic Versatile won't be cost-effective in time for 2010 for certain. Maybe something else entirely? I, for one, would love to see a way to get rid of spinning disk technologies -- except for a hard drive...
If MS does choose blu-ray going forward, it would really be a slap in the face as they have to basically admit Sony was right all along... I can't imagine that MS won't do everything possible to find an alternative...
I hate trolls.
