Toshiba officially switches to Blu-ray
Less than six months later, Toshiba joined the Blu-ray camp. If someone doesn’t know, let me remind you that: Toshiba has always been an ardent defender of the HD DVD format. After an exhausting biennial struggle with Blu-ray HD DVDs, he still died and went to the background, and recording studios began to release new albums on Blu-ray discs.
It was obvious that after the Blu-ray win, Toshiba would not long resist the popular passion for the format of the new generation. The policy of ignoring money did not bring. Therefore, it was highly likely to assume that as soon as Sony, Onkyo, Pioneer and other innovators begin to “rake” millions on Blu-ray, Toshiba will also stop playing HD patriot.
Today, Toshiba has confirmed its intention to join the club of fans of Blu-ray. In a press release from Toshiba Corp. It says that the company has applied for joining the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) - the main governing body for the promotion and standardization of the new format. More importantly, according to Toshiba, the company plans to publish a list of its products that will support the Blu-ray format.
Taking into account the fact that Toshiba did not disdain to sell their HD DVD players at dumping prices in due time, there is hope that the Japanese will not bend prices on Blu-ray players. The company does not yet disclose the list of devices that will support the format, also there is no information about the place and timing of the sales started. It is only known that Toshiba intends to integrate Blu-ray drivers into the line of laptops and begin production of Blu-ray-home theaters "by the end of this year."
