Let's hope there's a competing solution from the HD DVD camp eh?

I'll be interested to see how long it takes to write a 300GB disc....

I am pretty sure that a new HD DVD format won't be able to match the new stuff that is coming out. I have been waiting for a optical disk format to replace blu-ray because Sony's licensing fees are outragous for Blu-Ray...... the 100gb disks should be selling for $19 per 100 disk spindle by now.

You probably should have kids in order to burn a disc with that amount of data, so they can take it out for you after you're dead. There's also the probability of electric failure for that amount of time you'll need to complete a disc......

@makeveli By the time these become mainstream the technology viable to carry out a quick burn of 1tb of data should be out....you wouldn't release the platform if not.

Can't wait.Archiving HD video and DSLR pics on Blu-Ray still needs 50 blu-rays. As video and image expands want something to replace my archiving with less discs.

There will be no need for this format. Blu rays now can store up to 400 gb (With 16 layers), and by the time this will be available at an affordable price point, I don't think we will need optical media, and if we do, they will just pack in 2 Blu ray discs.

Now if they can combine the superior tech of M disc(1000 years)which I already have with the much higher capacity of this new archive format, We will all be happy. Give me 1tb M Discs, Then I wont need all these hdd's.

Cool

The price will remain prohibitive, probably as expensive as a 2.5 inch 1tb hard-drive.

@snowctrl nicely said but there's other thing how much is it going for, am I going pay $170.07 dollars for one disc or have to wait a decade to afford one of these disc.
