Toshiba delays HD-DVD rollout
by Richard Lawler posted Mar 23rd 2006 at 2:12PM
The biggest surprise here, is that the "no sh** Sherlock" reaction to the delay of Sony's
Playstation 3 has already been trumped twice in two days. We can't decide if this is more obvious than Microsoft's
so-predictable Windows Vista delay
(yep, they're still Microsoft), but Toshiba has decided to wait to ship their HD-DVD player until there are actually
HD-DVD movies to play on them. Now this is where you show how surprised you are, don't worry, we'll wait.Ready? Ok, although Toshiba has not announced a new date, Warner expects to have titles on store shelves April 18th, so through the power of the cosmos, telekinesis and Google, we predict we'll see players.....April 18th. Sometimes we surprise ourselves with our abilities.
Warner tees up HD-DVD, Blu-ray titles

The next gen DVD announcements keep on coming, this time we've got the list of titles annonunced by Warner
Home Video for Blu-ray and HD-DVD, dates for the HD-DVD releases, none yet for Blu-ray. One title jumps out at me,
Unforgiven. Only because I recall seeing For a Few Dollars more on Sony's Blu-ray release list. I love Westerns, but I
didn't know they were in such high demand in high definition (or else I wouldn't have already bought so many boxed sets
*sob*). Other than how quickly I'll be buying Swordfish in every high definition format available, other questions remaining include what kind of extras we can expect to see on either or both formats and how much it will cost us.
Check after the jump for the full list for both.
More competing formats? EVD/VMD High definition players coming to CeBit 2006
by Richard Lawler posted Dec 29th 2005 at 5:12PM
Who needs blue lasers? Not New Medium Enterprises or Beijing e-world, as they
have announced they will be showing off a combo EVD/VMD player at next year's CeBit in germany. Amazingly, while
Blu-ray and HD-DVD continue to fight in the streets over who has the birthright to the high definition throne, a little
collaboration could be a big boost to two other formats.EVD (Enhanced versatile disc) is a Chinese backed format that has produced very little since being originally announced in 2003, but promised high definition DVD's with standard red laser technology.
VMD (Versatile Multilayer disc) is a new format pushed by NME, where they say they can increase the storage of a standard red-laser DVD, by adding additional layers, all the way up to 100GB storage (theoretically).
Could all this Blu-ray/HD-DVD posturing be for naught? If these companies can get any studio support and cheap but high quality (MPEG-2 apparently) high definition DVD's on store shelves before the big guys get traction.......2006 will be an interesting year. Read on for the full press release.
