Toshiba: No Unified DVD Format Before Player Launch | |
|

| Time: 12:22 EST/17:22 GMT | News Source: eWeek | Posted By: John Quigley | ||

TOKYO (Reuters)—Toshiba Corp. said on Wednesday that no unified format for a next-generation DVD is likely before its year-end launch of advanced DVD players, a development that could confuse users and hinder industry growth. Japanese electronics makers Toshiba and Sony Corp., leading rival camps, have waged a three-year battle to have their different standards adopted for new DVDs, which promise much greater capacity for high-definition movies. Toshiba, along with NEC Corp. and Sanyo Electric Co., has been promoting HD DVD, while Sony and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., the maker of Panasonic brand products, have been developing a technology known as Blu-ray. | ||

I doubt there was ever going to be.
The whole "mine, Mine MINE!" attitude between these manufacturers made it a sure bet there would be a fragmented release. Consumers don't count in these 'negotiations', only who has control. TL |

Actually consumers do count. It is very simple - if consumers didn't buy the product because of crap like this then it wouldn't happen. But the average consumer is no better then a sheep. Ohhh something new and shiny ..... gotta buy. So the smart people will just wait until the victorious standard emerges and not waste their money on the different techs.
Until everything shakes itself out I will continue to watch regular DVD's and movies when they are on the HDTV movie channels. I won't buy into this new Beta vs VHS war. |
