Pioneer unveils Blu-ray drive for PCs
Meanwhile, industry analysts believe that Toshiba will launch notebook PCs with HD DVD drives in the spring of 2006. Giants Intel and Microsoft have endorsed the HD DVD format, claiming that it integrates more easily with personal computers.
Both Sony Blu-ray and the rival HD DVD will be unveiled next month at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

Everyone is seeming looking at the cost of the media iself at this period in time .... Totally silly since the dollar costs will drop as more manufacturing capacity comes on line.Here is the real question that may stop you in you viewing copying tracks .... what is attached to the technology in the way of DRM and such that may limit and control you in ways you never really wanted or intended but the manufacturers do.Rememebr, the RIAA and their ilk are still looking for the golden fleece of getting you to pay big bucks for crap and having no say (or rights) in what you get. |

Even though I could use a new computer, this is yet another reason why I've decided to hold off (along with the release of Vista) for the second half of '06'. Hopefully, these issues will be sorted by then.......(and I'll have the funds together)!Actually, this seems like a good move for anyone thinking about a new system. |
