I really did LOL looking at that. That's straight out of Bizarro World right there!

I had heard that initially the yield rate for BD50 were low, but is that still the case? I would be suprised now it is wasn't close to 100%.

The quick answer came back to you as a "Hell no!"

Funny, they persist with this BS about BD-Java being bad and not working, yet Liar's Dice worked perfectly on my PS3.

Put it this way, the yield of BD50s dwarfs the yield of DVD/HD-DVD flippers.

somebody clear this up for me. AND THE POINT OF THIS FUD IS......

i guess it explains alot even of the facts are correct BD is still kicking HDDVD'S ass.

It seems typical. once the hd-dvd camp finds a flaw early on in regards to BD, it carries out past the expiration date. I've had a lot of inquiries to counter arguments, and the generalized response to those arguments tend to be

"Yes, they're right... but that's old news, and there's a solution"

BD is kicking ass at IFA right now... but I'm still waiting to see what the hd-dvd camp has to say in their press releases tomorrow.

The manufacturing yield rates on BD50 (the 50GB discs) are only 40% from Sony manufacturers and down to 10% yields on non-Sony manufacturers. That means only one in 10 discs made by a non-Sony plant works as a BD50 disc. This in turn leads to higher costs

So, which is it:

- Nobody outside Sony does BD50 (Amir)
- Everybody outside Sony gets 10% (this article)

It's simply impossible for Sony to have a magic method, since they want to sell the installations (it's one way to recoup the cost of Blu-ray), so they would be doing everything they can to get yields up ASAP.

Now, only a few sites have recently gotten BD50 lines installed, so it's possible initial tests runs are 10%. And naturally that becomes the number to run with forever. Because, there are a lot of people that want it to be true.

I honestly have no reliable data one way or another. But, it seems to me highly that they manage only 10/40% yields and yet there are VERY few reported real world defects.

Considering how poor the QC on HD DVD combos are, that would imply a massively better QC process for Blu-ray. Which, to the CONSUMER, is what matters.

Fear not when you're boiling your HD DVD disc, realize that Sony is taking a bath on BD50 production, and that will make all the effort seem trivial.

Shouldn't they be looking at the disaster in their own house before worrying about Blu-ray?
