A story over @ ABC News reports that Toshiba began selling the first players using the next-generation HD-DVD video format Friday, beating the rival Blu-ray disc format to market in a high-stakes competition to deliver theater-quality movies to living rooms.
Japanese electronics maker Toshiba Corp. said its HD-XA1, priced at about 110,000 yen ($936) is the world's first commercially available HD-DVD player. The product, which has no recording function, is being promised for the United States in April at about $799.
HD-DVD movies are expected to gradually go on sale starting in April in Japan, including "Finding Neverland," Toshiba said, but the selection is initially even more limited than the titles now being promised for the United States. Films available on next-generation video are expected to grow.
HD-DVD is backed by Universal Studios and Warner Bros. as well as Intel Corp. and Microsoft Corp while Blu-ray disc is backed by Sony Pictures Entertainment, Twentieth Century Fox, Apple Computer Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co. and Dell Inc.
Experts say loyalty to either technology among Hollywood studios is likely to be thin, and studios are expected to come out with content for whichever format proves popular.
Oh, and don't forget PH-DVD.
