Uh huh. Wake me up when they review a real one as opposed to running a press release and it's cost-comparable to other optical media.

It's faster than any other media and holds more information. That's all I need to know.

This would be tres awesome. Hopefully, such mass storage would lead to multiple media type playback/recording devices as a standalone box. Multiple media formats on a single disk, played back through a single device that isn't actually a full desktop PC, possibly even a portable device? Drool, drool.
