Default Toshiba Is Putting Blu-ray Into Their Laptops Starting This Year!!! Yes!!!

There is no URL source because this is insider information told to me by one of the techs. Because I seriously hate them SOBs for my laptop I am giving you the golden nugget for you all to enjoy.

I just had the oddest thing happen to me. I went into my Lite-On External Blu-Ray drive and I noticed something. Look at this:


WHY THE HELL WOULD A TOSHIBA DRIVE BE IN MY BLU-RAY EXTERNAL DRIVE?

So I called Toshiba and got a level 1 tech; E**; who I tell about this weird anomaly that I have encountered. He then tells me this and I am amazed:

"Toshiba is currently putting Blu-Ray in our newer laptop models later in the 2009 year!"

I was amazed! I was like "YES!" In my mind I was like "You can all suck it!" I asked him to repeat what he has said. He said it and I asked; "Is this within the news or inside the company?" He tells me; "Inside the company for right now."

BLU IS TAKING OVER TOSHIBA! THERE IS A GOD!

This appears to be good information. It would be a slap in the face to the remaining Blu haters.

I don't dispute this information either as its pretty much being adopted on all laptops/desktop now and will soon become the next standard.

Yeah, I was about to say. Notice that there's no disc icon on your Toshiba drive.

Also, you should probably delete that useless AOL garbage on your desktop.

Toshiba is using the new Upconverted version of DVD technology so this not true.Unless the new CEO who has been assigned in the head department of Toshiba Corporation made his mind and unleash the power of Blu-Ray at the end of 2009.Everything can be expected and Toshiba must moved on .As a result,they will choose Blu-Ray.
