Toshiba: "no plans" to adopt Blu-ray

In the Q & A session following Toshiba HD-DVD-dumping case in Japan, Atsutoshi Nishida, President and CEO of Toshiba Corporation has an unpleasant surprise announcement. Although it is still used for the standard DVD, they have "no plan at all at this moment" to take the Blu-ray format. He also said that Tosh has no plans for a next-next-gen format. Maybe they just lick their wounds, to HD downloads reality.

Plextor releases two Blu-ray / HD DVD combo drives

Although we hope that the format war is shuddering at the end, it is probably still wise to hedge your bets just a little - and Plextor has two new SATA Blu-ray / HD-DVD combo drives. The new PX-B920SA writes BD-R at 4x speeds, 16x DVD and CD-R 40x, and read HD-DVD, while the lower end PX-B300SA drop of the BD-R capabilities and writes to DVD and CD . Plextor says both drives will be available at the end of the month, but unfortunately, we have no pricing information.
