i actually live in the town where gateway started and since acer bought them out 2 weeks ago the entire plant has been told they are all losing their jobs....Way to go ACER...i mean bigwigs making all the money.

Especially since acer makes tv's as well as computers.

well, currently, therer are more PC/Laptop with HD DVD compared with BD.
In Indonesia, the only laptop with hi-def drive is Toshiba HD DVD. No other.
It's funny considering that BD is the only legal hi-def disc to enter the indonesia. No HD DVD in indonesia exist (except if it is import). I know that Indonesians are loyal to PlayStation brand.

HP currently only releasing BD drive (exclusively - along with DVD writer) for Business notebook. But when will it come to consumer line???? No news.

Plan to buy HDX, and I plan to swap HD DVD drive with BD, and showed it to this forum. Some people that do search of Pavilion BD will get a link to this forum, and encouraged to do the same.

AFAIK on notebook:
BD: Dell, Sony, Acer (since December 2006 in UK), Fujitsu

HD DUD: HP, Toshiba, Acer, ASUS, Samsung (Korea exclusive), Fujitsu

I don't do desktop, but I think there is more on BD for desktop.
