Affected by the product extensions, and other factors, Blu-ray market to date or not better than HD DVD, as a large number of video films and the selection of consumer electronic companies, although Blu-ray format standards have strong financial support for Sony. At present, the HD DVD has won a large number of manufacturers to launch the corresponding format player devices, provide more concern consumer content.
Blu-ray and HD DVD differences should be negligible, but there are still not compatible. Blu-ray and HD DVD are based on the 405 nm wavelength laser reads the disc recording layer data, but the Blu-ray disc's data layer in the distance record surface 0.1 mm and HD DVD data layer on the surface 0.6 mm distance record.
More low-cost HD DVD player available
Currently as consumer electronics and other products of the leading manufacturers in the United States market, Toshiba has introduced two HD DVD player HD-XA1, HD-A1, in the European market has launched a pair of two sets of HD DVD player HD-E1, HD-XE1, and in Japan market is called the second generation of Toshiba HD DVD player HD-XF2, HD-XA2. In addition, as Thomson consumer electronics division of RCA began in the United States sales HDV5000 HD DVD player models.
But here, the Blu-ray camp the components of joint institutions consumer electronics vendors currently only Panasonic DMP-BD10, Philips BDP9000, Samsung BD-P1000, but unfortunately, including sharp, pioneer, Sony and other manufacturers also failed to provide similar products in the consumer market.
Although Blu-ray in capacity advantages over HD DVD, HD DVD hardware but actually in the consumer electronics market supply capacity to more than Blu-ray, and be able to play more, take more of a role.
Obviously, the Blu-ray player in the United States market as long as you have $ 320, and Samsung's Blu-ray player is asking price of $ 799, and Blu-ray camp of other manufacturers hope their player can sell to us $ 1000.
More value, more extensive
Sony led Blu-ray camp determine current Ministry of approximately more than 70 programmes can Blu-ray, and the future will be more, however, led by Toshiba and NEC's HD DVD camp duties already provides the Department of high definition programming, 164 and to the end of this year it is expected that this number could reach 214 Department.
Furthermore, the average selling price of HD DVD looks more than Blu-ray price advantages, such as pitch, from amazon.com HD DVD Blu-ray compared to the same price you can provide more content, such as HD DVD movie sale price of about $ 20 to 25, and Blu-ray movies you want $ 20 ~ 27.
Underlying consumer market product line
Even if the current Blu-ray format has not to be the global bulk supplier, but Blu-ray format has included many consumer electronics manufacturers and Hollywood film Publisher support.
Blu-ray now supporters including pioneer, Panasonic, Philips, sharp, Sony, and Toshiba can only rely on their own and RCA/thompson
In the Hollywood film distributors, including Shinkansen (new line cinema), paramount (paramount pictures), global television (universal pictures), Warner (warner bros) support HD DVD, Blu-ray supporters include paramount (paramount pictures), Sony (sony pictures), twentieth century Fox (twentieth century fox), global television (universal pictures), Walter-Disney (walt disney), Warner (warner bros).
Now for Blu-ray camp, the biggest problem is that Blu-ray player capable of providing, and VCDs, HD DVD before the program is already extensive sales, but also has a large player kuanxing can choose. Even if Toshiba is not absolute consumer electronics leader whose partners include RCA/thompson and other manufacturers are selling HD DVD player, content providers will also provide video based on HD DVD discs, and along with sales growth, cost competitive advantage compared to traditional DVD will also be closer, this also will promote and attract other consumer electronics and content providers to join the HD DVD camp. Thus, the impact of HD DVD may include consumer electronics and other market is growing rapidly, even if a non-HD DVD camp manufacturer, may be launched their own HD DVD products.
Obviously, the Sony PS3 game consoles in order to promote Blu-ray also played a considerable role in this will promote Blu-ray universal speed to a certain extent, speed up, but if Sony PS3 is not configured for Blu-ray, Blu-ray development may be a waste of time. However, at the same time need to be taken into account is that the PS3 game Basic is young people spending, including age of smaller youth, this also means, PS3 for mainstream HD Blu-ray player's influence in the consumer market is still very limited.
For Blu-ray camp, in fact I still have a lot to play Snowball development opportunities, such as providing more options for Blu-ray player devices, offering more Blu-ray high-definition video programs, and so on, however, this opportunity has been pre-empted HD DVD, HD DVD takes either the player or provide content to more than Blu-ray to.
