Streets of Rage 2 is the second game to be released this week on the Xbox Live Arcade.
To commemorate their defeat of the Syndicate exactly one year before, Blaze, Adam and Axel went out to celebrate. The next morning, however, Axel received a frantic phone call from Adam’s younger brother, Eddie ‘Skate’ Hunter. Blaze and Axel rushed over and found Adam and Skate’s house wrecked and a picture of Adam chained to a wall at the feet of Mr. X. The city was returned to its nightmarish state and criminals were once again running rampant. Unable to contact their old friend in artillery, Axel and Blaze team up with Skate and Max Thunder to free the city and rescue Adam from the Syndicate. It is up to you to take down Mr. X once and for all!

Ok, first lets think about this, what is a Terabyte?, what can you put on a 1TB disc?
A terabyte is 1,000 Gigabytes! On a single 1TB disc you can put ...
--20 full sized blu-ray discs (Dont think Sony even has that many BLU-RAY games total lol)
--1 million large word documents (or about 888,623 compressed copies of the book War and Peace!!)
--A quarter million MP3 files (play 1 song after another for like 17 months before repeating one)
--212 DVD movies ( thats a stack just over 10 foot high!)
--Or heck, 50 xbox 360 standard HDD's, thats 1,000 copies of COD4 BETA!! lol
My current computer has 60gigs of hard drive, so with one of these 1TB discs I could have the capacity of just over 16 of my computers hard drives!
A company in Israel claims it has developed a technology to make TeraDiscs, 1TB discs the same size as a standard DVD but with 200 layers 5GB each. The discs are said to have a 50 year life span. The laser can choose which layer it wishes to read from by changing the optics of the laser to focus at a specific distance through the transparent layers, the layers are only 5 microns apart. A special material is also used so writen layers remain transparent or the laser would have a hard time reading layer 200 through 199 layers of written material. The disc they show on thier site is totaly clear like a peice of glass, not like a 2 sided DVD that you cant see through, Wow transparent clear information devices, The superman crystals are totaly looking more possible every day, I Wonder how much info a 6" crystal can hold?
The company has already achieved the 800GB capacity and expects to hit 1TB very soon, and you can expect to see them on store shelves in 3 to 4 years. (Mempile) the company developing this new storage device states the 1TB is coming soon and they are already looking forward to moving on to a 5TB disc! will the madness never end?! I guess we know what the PS4 format will be.
