Hollywood studios are getting behind Blu-ray in a big way, announcing 75 movie releases on the Blu-ray high definition video format for Japan before the end of the year.
Studios such as Disney, Warner Bros, Fox and Sony, as well as many
others plan to release movies such as Da Vinci Code and Pirates of the
Carribean in what is looking to be a show of force backing the Blu-ray
format.
With most of Hollywood on its side, plus a swag of big name electronics
and computer companies, Blu-ray appears to have an edge in industry
support, although with Microsoft and Toshiba firmly behind HD DVD
nothing is cut and dried as to which format will win out.
Although HD DVD was first to market, is a considerably lower cost
technology and is more closely compatible with its predecessor DVD
technology, Blu-ray appears to be succeeding in gaining widespread
acceptance.
The release of double sided discs with 50GB capacity last month has
also given Blu-ray a significant edge in storage capability over HD DVD
which can only store 30GB.
The release of the Sony PlayStation 3 games console in November will
also give the market its first more consumer affordable Blu-ray player,
which the technology's proponents are hoping will further boost its
stocks.
