April 4th 2006 09:26
In the war between the next generation DVD formats Blu ray and HD DVD, Toshiba throws a big swing launching the first HD DVD player. The launch was on 31 March in Japan.

Whilst the war between the Blu-ray format, developed by Sony Corp, and the HD DVD format, championed by Toshiba Corp continues, a third approach comes from LG who is planning to launch a dual format player this year.

The price of the Toshiba HD DVD player will be around US$1000 whilst the price of the
Panasonic Blu-ray player will be around US$1500.

A critical difference between the formats is in terms of capacity a double layer HD DVD has a max capacity of 30 gigas whilst a double layer Blu-ray disc has a max capacity of 50 gigas.

From the business point of view is better to stick to the HD DVD format whilst the other 2 formats coexist (CD, DVD), because the challenge that present the blu ray format to the manufacturing process makes this option costly for the final customer.

But I agree with you the more capacity the better.
