Sony reduces Blu-ray lasers' size and cost
Posted on 25/01/08 20:37 by Tim Stork
After everybody started to declare Blu-ray as the 'only high-definition format', Sony is now trying to make its production costs lower. In the hardware race Sony has developed the world's smallest Blu-ray reader/writer module.
This module happens to be the most cost-efficient. Together with Nichia, Sony developed a new laser unit that is just 3mm thick. Sony's newest Blu-ray module will bring high-definition technology to the mainstream.
Bringing high-definiton to the mainstream means that more people will be interested in the 'newest DVD'. It will no longer be a product for the tech-addicted, it will be a product for the mass. Am I right?

After how many hardware and firmware revisions will Blu-Ray and Sony players become mainstream?
Thats the real question..
Yeah, HD DVD should be ahead. It's only because Sony also produces movies that they pulled ahead.The PS3 certainly helped Sony's Blu-ray penetration but the format itself is still incomplete, unlike HD DVD.
