I put this here because we don't have general tech.

Sony has lifted the lid on its next-gen Blu-ray format, boringly dubbed the 'Archival Disc'; a high-capacity optical disc developed in collaboration with Panasonic.
Due to debut in summer 2015, Archival Disc is expected to replace Blu-ray in time, with its massive storage outstripping any other optical disc format to date.
Initially, Archival Disc will be able to house 300GB of recorded data (six times more than current 50GB Blu-rays), although future iterations of the disc will be able to accommodate 500GB and even 1TB of storage. That's plenty of room for big fat 4K movies, large files or huge games.
You can take a look at the Archival Disc logo below, and an ostensibly dull bar chart illustrating how the format's capacity will increase in the future.
