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.

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.
