Optical discs have a finite life-span too.......IIRC one of the producers is currently making & marketing a premium-priced disc with a guaranteed life-span.
Just because they can do this doesn't mean everyone is just aching to buy it and use it.
Note there is not a word about cost in this.
Super Upscaling (just like current upscaling) is for many people all that is needed for the job, it's 'good enough' - especially when they are told the price of the high def kit necessary to experiene all that high def offers.
Naturally the spec-sheet jockys can't get past the numbers game without going all gooey-panted but that does not mean this has any relevance in the retail mass-market.
Just like Blu-ray itself has yet to break into the a/v mass-market as it is, nevermind any far-off potential.
You can get branded reliable HDDs @ 1Tb sizes now for less than £100/$200. Let's see it beat that.
(and my bet would be that the low volumes this is sure to be produced in means it won't even beat 2 x 1Tb drives - which will only continue to get cheaper - which, in a RAID config, ought to stop any silly reliability quibbles)
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
