With H.264 or VC-1 codecs, 50GB of blu-ray dual layer media is enough for
several hours of 1080p video along with lossless DTS HD audio - basically a
studio master and then some. 1.6TB is too big to be really useful, and since
it's a completely different architecture, would have to start from scratch
with player compatibility, etc. I think those discs may start eating into
the tape backup area of computer data storage (WORM discs are already
starting to, as are cheap ATA hard drives), but I don't see it as a player
in the home theater space.
As much as things 'always change', we are in a remarkable time in that
practically every major piece of the home theater is being revamped at the
same time - the home theater of just a year from now will feature a blu-ray
or hd-dvd player, playing H.264 or VC-1 software, connected via hdmi to a
7.1 receiver with DD HD and/or DTS HD surround sound, connected to a 1080p
fixed pixel television. Each one of those upgrades would have been a major
step forward if taken alone, but doing them all at roughly the same time is
unheard of. Thank god they aren't changing the way speakers work!

Are us "early adopters" jumping the gun with Blue-Ray ?
I haven't seen much discussion about this new technology.
It's closer than we think. Probably some time this year.
