I reckon by the time 720 arrives br players will be 10 a penny.
I have seen ads for laptops with br drive recently.
I have also heard that M$ is going to use a proprietary format.
I predict a Micrsoft HD-DVD proprietary format. Maybe like the Sega GD-ROM but call it MS-DVD. It could be that MSFT will do DL only and have a USB drive for Xbox/X360 compatibility.
Honestly, it might be a poor idea to do so, especially with rumors of Nintendo working in HVD which has a 3.9 TB capacity.(Though thinking about it HVD might be a bad idea as well as it only has a 125MB/s transfer rate at the moment, a little less than a 4x BD-rom and they're ungodly expensive at the moment.)

I would be surprised if we needed 500 GB next gen. 100 GB is conceivable, but not 500 GB.
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

People overestimate how much money goes directly to Sony. The royalty fee is paid and is split up amongst many of the BDA members, with larger percentages going to those who hold technology patents. Even some of the movie studios like Warner Brothers have joint rights to some of the patents. Sony is one of the bigger fish in terms of who gets the royalties obviously since they were one of the key developers. |
Panasonic and the others get royalties from the hardware, but sony gets all of the royalties from the discs. It might be about $2 a disc so sony could take a big bite out of MS's margins for the 720. Man, MS's problems never go away

Well, this 500GB disc is probably going to be more of a niche kind of device, as governments, scientists storing research data, and businesses would want a space saving storage media so that they wouldn't have to monkey around w/ tapes from the 70's.
