TWICE: What’s your plan for Blu-ray Disc this year?

Muller: We are staying committed to the Blu-ray camp. We are a founder. As far as hardware, we are waiting for our next generation player to start pushing it. The reality right now, with the cost of the components, where going from analog TV to HDTV is an order of magnitude in difference, going from regular DVD to Blu-ray is not in equality with the difference in price you are going to pay. As this gets down into the price points that are more in line with the incremental benefits, we will be going after it aggressively. We remain firmly committed to Blu-ray Disc.

6/13/2007 Good find. I think Toshiba is backing itself into a corner. They are putting their name right next to HD-DVD on the commercials. Once it fails, consumers will not think too highly of them.

Philips may not be that respected in the A/V enthusiast community but their products are reliable and their brand is one the average consumer can trust.

The fact that companies like Philips and Panasonic are devoted to Blu-Ray is proof enough that Blu-Ray is the only format that can truly be the next "DVD"
