    Microsoft developing FVD



    A more reputable site for those that don't believe The Inquirer.

    I don't see this competing with HD-DVD or Blu-ray, but I see it being used for later Xbox 360 games to offer more space. It's using the same red laser technology that's in current DVD drives, and Microsoft wouldn't need a whole new DVD drive, nor would they have to pay royalties to companies like Sony, Samsung, or Toshiba to use the other formats. I've heard about this before in a magazine, and that Microsoft could get up to 60GB on a disk with current red laser technology, but nobody will need that much, not even a 1/4 of that.

      HOLY SHAM!! That is the best news I've ever heard. Now, I'm all into this. I mean, can I be any happier for Microsoft. I'm hurt that they threw dust at Toshiba, but hey, that's the way the cookie crumbles. Ironically, I'm wondering how Toshiba & Sony are going to hold up against this FVD. Not that it's big right now but dang, that's the most awesome joint. Guess Sony just loss their step on this battle. Honestly, Sony had the disc space. Now all they seem to have is the cell....
