Take a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_Versatile_Disc
Does anybody think that this will be the post-Blu-ray format (maybe the last optical format), or will it just be for industry data storage for IT, etc.
Thoughts??
yep, read about it last year, HVD can potentially hold 1TB of data using multiple layers of different colors.
Its hard to say. Blu-Ray is pretty damn good, and the problem is not necessarily with the technology anymore, but people. People really have a hard time noticing anything above 1080p. Our eyes just aren't that good.
It depends on how the digital download market is by that time as well. I think most people are overestimating how fast it will take hold. Hell, 15 years ago they thought the average internet connection would be T1 in 10 years, and we all saw how that turned out.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

HVD will be a viable format and one that will replace blu-ray, once it becomes cheap to mass market as well as once the HD tv of the future come, and were talking about HD tv's capable of 4k resolution, at that resolution the video content will be huge and HVD will be needed to store the terebyte of video data.
I've heard of them, but I haven't been keeping up with the technology over the past year or so.

You're wrong. There have been tests for ultra high definition, and unlike current HD, people got motion sickness, so they clearly can notice the difference, since 4000p is a far greater step up from 480i than 1080p is.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

They Should Called it Green-Ray :P
Unleash The Beast! 
End of 2011 Sales: Wii = 90mil, 360 = 61mil, PS3= 60mil
HVD would kick ass but do have to see if it will become affordable before digital download becomes standard (if it becomes any sort of major standard soon)

Because a similar name to the last format worked so well last time. [/sarcasm]

you need at least a 40 inch HDTV to tell the difference between 1080p and 720p. How big are the screens going to have to be to tell the difference between blu-ray and 4k? I would say at least 60 inches, which is currently much larger than the avg. TV. Now at 4k and a screen that big, the above poster is right, people are going to start to get motion sickness.
Some movies such as Ratatouille are only done in 2k, so 1080p is practically as good as it gets (2k is measured in horizontal pixels, 1080p is 1920x1080).
The CEs are much better off doing things like 3d, than increasing the resolution.
