Sony's Blue-ray

Self praise is no praise. According to Sony, Blue-ray is the obvious winner when it comes to the format war, mainly due to the popularity of Playstation 3. Reportedly two Blu-ray Discs were sold for every one HD DVD last month, these numbers does not matter and when it comes to pricing, HD-DVD beats Sony flat. HD-DVD is cheaper to produce and to buy as well and with the entry of Chinese manufacture next month for HD-DVD, this would likely change the overall competition. Nobody is the winner yet.

Fed up with the royalty fees thing, 20 chinese firms representing 97 percent of the DVD manufacturers in the country agreed to switch from the current DVD format to EVD format. EVD is a chinese homegrown format using the red laser technology. The average price for each player is about USD100 while the HD-DVD and Blue-ray player cost almost 7 - 9 times.

With no other country besides China adpoting this EVD technology, this is bound to fail unless they are able to market it quickly, in every Xbox or Wii as an addon? The best solution would be to conquer the computer market as cheap and massive backup storage disc (50GB).
