HP to support HD-DVD and Blu-ray
By
Here is a new twist in the DVD format war! Hewlett-Packard has announced it will support both contenders to be the next generation of DVDs, a change of tack that could raise the chances of an expensive format war. It doesn’t look like a clear winner will be seen for some time now.
“Because HP wants to deliver the most user-friendly and cost-effective solution to our customers, we have decided to support both formats,” said Maureen Weber, general manager of HP’s personal storage division, in a statement. “By joining the HD DVD Promotions Group and continuing work with the Blu-ray Disc Association, HP will be in a better position to assess true development costs and, ultimately, provide the best and most affordable solution for consumers.”
