Aside of games, you can also put music, large quantities of information for school, software programs for military/health/science uses, basically anything that requires memory usage in the digital world. Blu-Ray will help cut costs from regular DVD discs while able to store more information on each Blu-Ray disc. While it may seem like DVD's are enough for these programs, you're forgetting that the world of technology moves faster than we can anticipate sometimes. More programs require more memory these days. |
I saw a Blu-Ray disk selling for 18 dollars today. I bought 100 DVDs for 30 dollars. If you store a lot of information on one disk, it becomes a liabiltiy. That is why they got rid of $1000 and $10,000 bills. Losing one of those bills would piss you off. Anyway, I hear that holographic discs are around the corner. They're supposed to store a ridiculous amount of data.
