fyi
However, I'm getting sick of the introduction of new and competing 'media'. You just about get everything switched over and stored to the new format and they introduce something else thats not compatable.
I hope SONY prevails in this format war.
Panasonic already has the technology using two types of laser, allowing use of both Blu-Ray and DVDs. If Blu-Ray could be used with other formats, you would not need to have two different players, one for DVD. It could also have use in the PC Market. Just imagine having a compact disc read and write drive that accepts multiple types: CD, DVD, HD-DVD, and Blu-Ray. That will also have use in Laptops. Blu-Ray disc can go up to 50GB and that is pretty large useful for backups and multimedia file storage. Blu-Ray is said to be used in Play Station 3, so it will still have a market. Meanwhile Panasonic has their own, Play Station 3 is likely to have something similiar that will allow the use of PS and PS2 software. In other words, CD and DVD.
