Sony, Toshiba to agree on new DVD format

[Blu-Wave]

Toshiba have stated in the past that the HD-DVD/AOD technology is just a stepping stone between DVD and BD, so it makes sense that the agreement establishing the new unified next generation format confirms that it will fully exploit the more advanced next generation recording capability of blu-ray, which Sony and others have worked so hard to develop.

Whatever the unified standard is called it will be blu-ray at the heart of the recording - and that's what really matters if we want the maximum potential both in the short and longer term. :P
