When we first saw the price we were blown away that a company would create a Blu-ray player with a $16,900 sticker. Then we saw it was produced by Goldmund. Continuing their reign of offering consumers insanely overpriced products for those with more money than they know what to do with, the company has just released a Blu-ray player more expensive than most compact automobiles. The Eidos 20 BD Blu-ray player includes an AC-Curator power supply circuit, a Magnetic Damper for lowering read errors and an ugly chassis.

Acer has released many laptops in the past year, but that doesn’t stop them from expanding their selection even further, with the company now reportedly planning on releasing a pair of new notebooks sporting Blu-ray drives and high res screens. It is not entirely offical at this time, but DigiTimes reports that the laptops will consist of a 16-inch and an 18.4-inch model, both of which will feature a “Full HD panel”. Unfortunately at this time, we have no other details on the laptops, but they will be priced between $1,900 and $2,240 when they released in the second quarter of this year.

Paramount is about to switch to Bluray according to Techcrunch, its seems that they have just given up on establishing HD DVD as the next DVD.

HD DVD has been going down hill since Warner Bros decided to switch to Bluray on January 4.

We believe that in the end online video will rule over bluray, that is because of the massive growth that online videos sites have seen, both in a stream format, by purchase, and by rental.
