Acer has
become the newest member of the
Blu-ray
Disc Association, joining more than 170 consumer electronics manufacturers,
computer companies and content providers.
Acer is one of the three largest PC brands in the world, and the number one
notebook brand in Europe.
"We are delighted to welcome Acer to the Blu-ray Disc Association," said
Victor Matsuda, chairman of the organisation's Global Promotions Committee.
The news comes not long after it was reported that
Paramount
was paid to drop
Blu-ray completely and to support the rival HD-DVD format.
Data compiled respectively by
Home
Media Research and
GFK
Research suggests that Blu-ray Disc movie titles accounted for 66 per cent
of HD movie sales in the US and 60 per cent of HD movie sales in Europe in the
first half of 2007.
With more companies choosing one format or the other, some market watchers
believe that there is "no end in sight" in the
next-generation DVD format
war.
But with the increase of IPTV, and several manufacturers producing
dual-format DVD players, many others believe that it will become academic.
