Think about it, even with this capacity, how much will really be loaded on one of these? A full season of a television show? OK. An entire series, makes sense, why not. But after that, it would get awfully expensive to take advantage of all the space on one of these discs. And unless a company is willing to customize the discs they're sending, you're gonna end up paying for crap you don't want if they start packaging lots of things onto these discs. Which is partly responsible for why people stopped buying CDs - they didn't want all the crap, they just wanted to pay for the few songs they liked. Just doesn't make sense to me. Nobody is going to an optical "video store" to pick content, because they'll be using virtual "video stores" in a few years. Just doesn't seem like a good option for commercializing media. For other things though, might work great...but I don't see this replacing DVD or Blu-ray.
