Philips: We are staying committed to the Blu-ray camp

[Tekman]

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.
