Comments on: Toshiba’s HD-DVD vs. Sony’s Blu-ray Discs http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/jkbaumga/2006/04/17/toshibas-hd-dvd-vs-sonys-blu-ray-discs/ World AIDS Day Tue, 02 Dec 2008 02:56:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: walt http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/jkbaumga/2006/04/17/toshibas-hd-dvd-vs-sonys-blu-ray-discs/#comment-1054 walt Fri, 21 Apr 2006 15:54:58 +0000 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/jkbaumga/2006/04/17/toshibas-hd-dvd-vs-sonys-blu-ray-dis#comment-1054 <a></a> I've been following the high-def. optical disc issue for a while now. It's really "Toshiba and a few friends" on one side and "Sony and most electronics companies and studios" on the other, more complicated because Blu-ray offers higher capacity and HD-DVD's cheaper to press. No Blu-ray players are yet on the U.S. market; they'll arrive next month. The advice is, I believe, correct: Hold off for a while. Particularly for all those people who either don't have HDTVs or who don't notice or care about the difference between true high-def and upscaled standard definition.
