HP No Longer Exclusively Supporting Blue-Ray 134
linumax wrote to mention an MSNBC article stating that HP is dropping its exclusive support for Blue-Ray. They'll be offering support to the HD-DVD format as well. From the article: "The decision is the latest sign of a looming 'format war' between the competing standards for a new generation of digital video players that can record high-definition films and video games. Blu-Ray and HD-DVD-compatible devices are expected to hit stores worldwide early next year."

HD movies are already being transmitted on cable and satellite channels... if people want to keep HD movies around, their only (legal) option is to keep them on a PVR's hard drive. Are HDTV owners satisfied with that? No.
