whoaaaa!!!! hold on there! let's not get TOO ahead of ourselves.....

it will be quite a few years before those other formats are
commercially viable....

ps. i told my dad of the 100-200 GB blu-ray disc and he's already
asking where to buy one - had to tell him to wait until players come
out this summer! i really think one of the selling points of blu-ray
will be the awesome storage available in the discs ;-)
