Toshiba laptops with HD DVD drives
p2pnet.net news:- Starting next year, all Toshiba laptops will have HD DVD drives.
The company hopes this will give it an age in the high-stakes next-generation DVD format battle, Reuters has a a Toshiba executive saying.
Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) game consoles include Blu-ray drives.
“Toshiba, which research firm IDC said shipped 9.2 million notebook PCs in calendar 2006, is seeking to land a knock-out blow against the Sony-led Blu-ray camp, but adding high-definition drives to PCs would mean higher prices and could hurt sales,” says the story, going on:
“Sony shipped 5.5 million PS3s in the year ended March, of which 3.6 million were sold, as the PS3’s $600 price tag scared away would-be buyers and convinced others to opt for lower-priced rival consoles, such as Nintendo’s Wii.”
