Price will come down with mass production, it was indeed too soon after blu-ray.
There are new technologies in the works already, HVD might simply be skipped.

It all depends if it can be made fit for mass production and if the read speed is fast enough.

So there is a 5D disc in the works? Wow
But the Archival Disc is the next one, it's not aimed at end consumers right now, but it could be in the future.

I guess that all depends on the read speed. Naming it archival disk doesn't sound encouraging for fast access. It is supposed to launch this year but the last reports were from March 2014. There is this rather brute force solution lol
