Sony is working on a high-capacity optical media

Yes, indeed, progress is accelerating every day, every hour. I don’t think that many representatives of the habrasociety have a Blu-ray drive or player that supports this type of media at home. Of course, this is not so rare, but still the new format (and it is still new for the CIS countries) did not have time to firmly establish itself in our lives, like the same DVD, for example. However, Sony is already working to create an even more capacious optical media. For this, active work is being carried out now - after all, it is necessary to create a special type of laser beam.

And it is created, it is a blue laser of super-fast pulsation, which is capable of recording data very densely. The only problem is that when the new format discs appear, few will use them. Why? Yes, because now more and more users are getting wider Internet channels. Even Blu-ray in countries with deep penetration of broadband Internet connection is not a very popular format. Why buy expensive discs when all this can be downloaded in a couple of hours (well, or in a night)?

In any case, the new format will not become as popular as the notorious DVD. More and more people are watching high-resolution videos on various web services, which, by the way, are also quite a lot, and new ones appear every month.

But still, the new format, subject to at least some popularity, will be beneficial to many, including game manufacturers for game consoles or the same film producers - after all, many people still prefer not to download the movie, or watch it on the Web, but “ don't bother ”and just buy. But on a new medium should fit about 50 films of super-high quality. It seems that such a novelty should find its consumer. What do you think?
