The Future of DVDs and Such

Chris Balcer here again, with more fascinating news for you about the world of visual entertainment. I guess. I’m kind of sad because it’s my last one, which means that this is likely my last blog post here. But let’s not dwell on that. Let’s dwell on the fact that somebody made a disk that holds FIVE THOUSAND GIGS OF SPACE. Yeah. Somebody in Japan used a special metal to make a huge CD. It could revolutionize the industry. And not just the movie industry, companies could release an entire show on one disk, or video games could have huge amounts of stuff on one disk (Mass Effect 2 had two disks, and while it wasn’t too bad, it was a pain). Oh, but wait… there’s the little issue that nobody cares. That’s right. Why bother going out and buying this expensive DVD player and expensive DVDs when you’re just going to watch your shows over the Internet? There’s no real point to it. I mean sure, some parts of it are cool, and it could be useful, but look at how badly Blu-Ray and HDDVD have failed. (HDDVD failed hardcore.) Think that, but with this newfangled thing. I think it’s unfortunate, but then again, what isn’t? Although, I would like the ability to put the entirety of my computer on one disk.
