Hybrid Blu-Ray: Plays in DvD Player (The 2004 Idea)

[sega4life]

@akuma587.. Relax.. Combos aren't stupid, I mean it was an (option). They offered Combo sets or No Combo sets for the same movies so you had a choice. Some were the price as other HD/BR and some were just $5 more..

For people that put money into their entertainment center, they want a great picture, but they also think of the family and don't want to buy another disc for Road Trips, or TV in the kids room.

Also BR offered them as well, it wasn't an HD-DvD thing. 

 

 

The price isn't going to be cheap to start off to say the least... lol

          "However, the first hybrid releases will be quite expensive. Pony/Canyon said that the fist movie package to be released in February would include a set of four hybrid discs (MPEG-4 AVC, Dolby Digital, 534 minutes in total) that will cost around 36,540 Yen ($406), while the DVD version (7 DVD discs, 534 minutes, Dolby Digital) will retail for 23,940 Yen ($266)."

 

Here is a better idea of what it looks like:

Now you can see the layers, take away the BR layor and you have many, many, DvD Layers.

Don't think a DvD Lazers would know how to read all those layers tho...
