Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Blu-Ray also has application in the Computer storage arena.

Again, HD-DVD is currently cheaper, but the higher storage capacity with Blu-Ray could make Blu-Ray a keeper.

There's a whiff of a hope that Blu-Ray offers a more robust (?) DRM scheme than HD-DVD and probably explains why Blu-Ray has most of the studio support currently. OTOH, I'm skeptical any DRM scheme is going to survive the hackers.

I vaguely recall reading the lack of "cheap" blu-ray players is the lack of cheap Blu-Ray ROM drives. This is alleged to be about to change this summer.
