Blu-ray DVD's are winning the race, but losing the price and manufacturing wars
The Sony-backed Blu-ray and the Toshiba-backed HD DVD have each been trying hard to become the next DVD format and the fight is still going on. Today, the fight has shifted over to pricing and the time it takes to produce a disc. Interesting read if you want to know where the future of DVD's is going.
How much? No one can say for certain. But in at least one early test, according to a top manufacturing executive who asked to remain anonymous, a manufacturing line for HD DVD discs produced nearly twice as many usable discs as a similar line pumping out the Blu-ray format, over the same period of time. That translates into higher costs for Blu-ray producers. Moreover, component costs for Blu-ray can be nearly double HD DVD costs, because elements are still hard to find, the executive said.
