[PS3]

when will CCleaner 2.0 come out?

[TwistedMetal]

A very long time from now. We are only at 1.32.

[Andavari]

Since a new version is released approximately once a month (give or take for bug fixes and such) I'd speculate five years unless MrG decides to skip a bunch of version numbers inbetween the up and coming 1.33 to get to 2.0.

[PS3]

lol, 5 years. imagine what life would be like in 5 years.

M$ Vista 2 would probably be out.

and then CCleaner 2.0 yay!!!

In five years, well maybe: XBOX 720, overpowered by the PS4 using Super-Blu-Ray discs.

That's why I was laughing so hard. Doesn't the board automatically edit those 4 letter words?

Or didn't it used to? I've never seen word show up on here before. Or maybe everyone else is kind enough to add the bleeps?


temporarily hijacked...sorry

[PS3]

oh ok. sorry about that. i didnt know that word was considered as explicit langauge.

here (australia), we see that word only as what it really means: a female dog.

[Mike Rochip]

My favorite autobleeped out bad word:

d*** CHENEY!

Of course in my opinion...

I'd bleep out the word Cheney, too .

XBox 720? What happened to the other 719?



CCleaner 2.0 will probably come out within a year, I suppose, when Mr.G decides to start expanding CCleaner into another 'field' Usually new versions include some dramatic new features, not periodic updates.

Hell no! Well at least some four letter words which really aren't even considered "swearing" anymore, this ain't the 1950's.

360x2=720
I would hope that gaming consoles would at least be able to double their power in five years. But then again in only a few years the PS3 is what 20x more powerful than it's predecessor the PS2.

I actually read the PS4 won't be using any discs. That you'll be downloading everything.

With just months to go before the launch of the PS3 and the debut of Sony's costly Blu-ray format, worldwide studios president Phil Harrison has hinted that the console's successor will not feature a disc drive. In a recent interview with Wired Magazine, Harrison speculated that the successor to the PlayStation 3 may be entirely based on digital distribution models for both games and media content.

"We have to change the business model. We have to find a new way to reach the consumer," he stated. Harrison went on to refer to Kart Rider, a Korean game which is offered for free. Consumers are then charged for upgrades enhancements via digital download - and more than 12 million people are currently playing the game. "That will be the business model for the future of games," Harrison declared, before stating: "I'd be amazed if the PS4 had a physical disc drive."

Clearly, when taken in context, Harrison's comments are merely speculative. However, it could be inferred that the company's vision of the future is focused very much on online distribution, rather than with the "future proof" Blu-ray disc format. Sony is set to launch the PlayStation 3 in November and has gone to great lengths to assure consumers that Blu-ray - which is in direct competition with the Microsoft-backed HD-DVD format - will be the dominant format for media storage, using the costly format as justification for the PS3's high price tag.

Anyone thinking Phantom?

Seems this thread has gotten pretty out of topic.

I think maybe will be HVD (Holographic Video Disk), which has much much more space than both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray.

HVD has about a terabyte of space, I think...

[zaphirer]

HVD seems like its at least 10 years away.

[Eldmannen]

More info about HVD on Wikipedia;

It's not 10 years from now, its just around the corner.
But it is expensive, a HVD reader/writer will cost $10.000.

[zaphirer]

$10.(,)000!

Why not just invest in something like dual layer + disks? Quad and up layer sounds better.

Even with all these new technologies, it's going to take people a long time to adjust to them. My dad still has a shelf of Laser Disks

[Andavari]

Regardless of the disc format the one drawback is still the possibility of damaging the disc. Well hopefully they will create the discs with the new self-healing plastics which are supposedly not too far off from making it into consumer products.

[Eldmannen]

Yeah, optical discs can get damaged. But dumb people just have them laying around, and have them on floors, use their fat greasy fingers to touch the surface then wonder why it don't work.

They should be carefully handled, never touched on the surface, and placed in a protective jewel case stored in a dark room-temperatured place.

Also, I heard that there are protective coating on some optical discs, that make them more scratch resistant.

Yeah, change to a new standard takes a lot of time. Most computers still ship with floppy drives. People still use floppy disks. Now tapes, floppies, LP is less used. Many people still don't own a DVD player in their living room even though it have existed very long.
And now it will be extra trouble some because HD-DVD and Blu-Ray compete, so there isn't one standard, and people don't know what to buy. So DVD will still stay a long time to come...
