New blow for Blu-ray as LG drops player
Plans for dual-standard player in the autumn as Sony postpones BD-based
Playstation 3
Clive Akass,
Personal Computer World 15 Mar 2006
The Blu-ray high-definition recording bandwagon has got its second blow in a
day with news that LG
Electronics has dropped plans to ship a player this spring.
Instead it is planning to release a player supporting both Blu-ray and rival
HD-DVD this autumn, the electronics industry magazine
Twice
reported.
The news came as Sony cited Blu-ray problems as a reason for the
postponement
of its Playstation 3.
Analysts speculated that the real reason was a lack of games titles and
graphics problems, but the announcement was at the very least bad publicity for
Blu-ray, which had been generally believed to be winning the battle against
rival HD-DVD technology.
A third HD format using cheap
existing red lasers and storing up to 40GB a disk was announced at Cebit.
