@vn but also i don't think "what if we made blu rays in 2024 but even more expensive" is going to be successful

@leo I was thinking along the lines of optical solid state media rather than spinning disc. I don't know how it would work I just think it would be neat

@leo I don't even know how much UHD blu-ray movies cost on average tbh but the only blu-rays I own are video game discs which go for more than $30 (for reasons entirely different from the price of the medium afaik)

@vn microsoft research is working on something like this but it sounds unbelievably expensive https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2023/09/ProjectSilica-SOSP23.pdf
