The Future of Optical Media and How It Could Benefit Collectors and Enthusiasts
I can see it falling off with only 2 major companies staying around at the moment. But I've been thinking on future optical media. Sizes of games and movies are increasing everyday and surpass the size of UHD discs, which is 100GB.
What if we had larger discs, something with a real wide diameter like a vinyl record? Estimated at about 600GB if it was an actual thing. I was also thinking about for games how rewritable discs would be so much better. This would be for content updates. In some discs they can last as long as 50 years. Console gens never last that long anyways.
I know some might find it odd to want a disc so large or even embrace optical media going forward but this would be purely for enthusiasts and collectors. I realize cost and all that but consider something else. Long term people still collect vinyl and old games so this would make sense in my mind. Any thoughts on this?
