When you thought you\'ve seen everything in this stupid DVD next-gen fight... here comes the HoloDVD (somewhat). Anyway I must admit those storage numbers look pretty sexy.

yea, up to 1.6 TB :O

ive been following this holographic storage stuff for a while.. and it looks really kewl! not to mention it has a fun name

but will it catch on?

First time i heared about it in ages! I knew it was coming. Im afraid it will flop because its so late.

It\'ll be great for hard drive backup, especially laptops.

Make sure you check out the news story link on the bottom of the page: \"Banking on a virtual economy: Online gamer Jon Jacobs recently spent $100,000 in real-world money to buy a virtual space station. Is he nuts?\"

My vote is yes.
