Golvellius said:Toshiba takes European lead over Sony in HDBy Maija Palmer Published: April 9 2007 03:00 | Last updated: April 9 2007 03:00 Aficionados of European cinema who would like to watch films such as Roberto Benigni's award-winning The Tiger and the Snow in high definition, may, for the time being at least, have to buy a HD-DVD player rather than a Blu-Ray Disc machine. A number of European independent film studios and DVD production companies are opting for Toshiba's HD-DVD format over the rival Sony technology, thanks to a strong support programme by the HD-DVD camp and concerns over the price of Blu-Ray technology.
I am well aware that European movies will hardly produce any noticable effect, but I have the general impression that also European distributors of US blockbuster movies prefer HD DVD over Blu-Ray. I don't have any proof for this statement at the moment, though. |
Tiger and the Snow ?Crap film .
In any case ,HD-DVD doenst have many presence here .BR data has improved X30 since the PS3 launch .I doubt any distributor or producer wants to produce movies solely for the bruised and beat up HD-DVD.
