Sorry if this has been asked..but wouldnt it be great to have your roms on ONE
disc? ALL 26 gigs worth?

In any event, I can see down the line (3-4 yrs) we'll have chds totaling 100
gigs!

It would but, the format wars have only just started for DVD: The Next
Generation (tm).

At this point it's hard to say who'll win out.

Uhm, but last count there were closer to 40 gigs. If I remember right,
bluray disks hold like 34 gigs.

first came out in 1996. I think it'll be another 10 years before the
successor are as common for data storage
