After
more than a year of waiting, this year's Consumer Electronics
Show (CES) saw the formal unveiling, by representatives of both
the HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc camps, of plans to launch their
respective formats by mid-2006. Major announcements were made by
electronics manufacturers and the Hollywood studios alike on
behalf of both high-definition videodisc formats. As you might
expect, The Digital Bits
was there to cover the event and we've got a full report on all
the key developments. As part of our coverage, you'll also find
an interview with Andy Parsons, senior vice president of Pioneer
Electronics (USA) Inc., about his company's Blu-ray Disc plans,
as well as a gallery of more than 50 images from the convention
floor, including plenty of pictures of Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD
hardware and software. Enjoy! |
