hey great news - DVD war is finally over.

Well you all might be knowing about the DVD war goin between the Tech TITANS.We (consumers) are only the beneficiaries of that. If people dont know about this let me brief you up.

Hmmm let me put this way, Sony and Toshiba basically started this, upto my knowledge. They are competing for a DVD fromat different then the current one, which may store upto 50GB. yeah!!! Thats right 50GB, who will need a hard disk after that. Just for our OS we will need a minimum of say 40GB thats it.

So a DVD format from SONY and their is called the BLU-ray, name coming from the color of the laser. Format coming from Toshiba is named HD-DVD (High Definition). So all the major corp behemoths are supporting one of this formats. Supporting mainly means FUNDING.

But it seems that this will create problems for consumer like us, especially from developing countries. So after some fight they decided to some how end the fight, and collaborate for Format. But after a lot of TALKSSS(:)) they derived that its not possible.

So they again moved in the opposite direction. But let me tell you that, companies producing computers and many others decided to support both this
formats.

And FINALLY the day has arrived. The day we all are waiting for, hurrayyyyy!!!! THE FIRST DVD HAS ENTERED THE MARKET. IT IS PREPARED BY TDK, and offcourse it is a BLU-RAY disk. The first HD-DVD laptop and first Blu-Ray PC has entered the market
