HD DVD might delay launch
What kind of day would it be if there was no news about HD DVD or Blu-Ray. One of the only advantages the HD DVD had over Blu-Ray was that it would later this year; well it might not happen. Toshiba is saying that they are waiting for the "right time" to release HD DVD to the market. All we know is that they are simply delaying the upcoming war.
And so the war starts
We knew it would happen soon, but man was that quick. Manufactures of optical drives already have out new versions that will read Blu-Ray and HD DVD. Pioneer released early this week its first volley into the battle with the BRD-101A, capable of producing Blu-Ray disks. NEC returned fire with its first HD DVD drive, the HR-1100A. Both of the drives can do their respective high capacity disks, but unlike the Pioneer, the NEC can read CDs too. Sweet. Both are going to hit the streets around $600.This is going to be a long war folks.[via Engadget]EDIT: Good catch on the spelling of Blu-Ray.
