Still a stalemate
by Edwin in Home Gadgets, Tech News
Here we are into the new year and the battle for living room supremacy between HD DVD and Blu-ray have yet to yield a clear winner, leading us to nothing but a stalemate. ABI Research claims that by the time 2012 rolls around, universal drives capable of handling both formats will be winners in computers – not consoles like the PS3 or the Xbox 360 with its HD DVD add-on. According to principal analyst Steve Wilson, “Few universal drives are sold today partly because of their higher price. But those prices will fall to about the same as Blu-ray players by 2009, and we forecast universal player sales to exceed Blu-ray the following year.” Have you yielded to the high definition pressure already? If yes, which camp do you root for?
