Toshiba Applies To Blu-ray Disc Association And Plans To Manufacture Blue-ray Players

August 12, 2009 by jayfrankwilson

Toshiba announced this week that they have applied to the Blu-ray Association and will begin producing Blu-ray DVD players. Toshiba had developed the HD-DVD high-definition DVD format and competed and conceded defeat in a format war with Sony’s competing Blu-ray in 2008. Details will be made available later this year, but this move should give some much-needed momentum to the Blu-ray format. Blu-ray is losing traction competing against online services like Netflix, which stream movies through the Internet directly to consumers.

Toshiba Applies to Join Blu-ray Disc Association

10 Aug, 2009

Tokyo—Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502) announced today that the company has applied for membership of the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) and plans to introduce products that support the Blu-ray format.

As a market leader in digital technologies, Toshiba provides a wide range of advanced digital products, such as DVD recorders and players, HDTVs and notebook PCs that support a wide range of storage devices, including hard disk drives (HDD), DVD, and SD Cards. In light of recent growth in digital devices supporting the Blu-ray format, combined with market demand from consumers and retailers alike, Toshiba has decided to join the BDA.

Toshiba aims to introduce digital products that support the Blu-ray format, including BD players and notebook PCs integrating BD drives, in the course of this year. Details of the products, including the timing of regional launches, are now under consideration. We will make announcements in due course.

    That would definitely spice up the competition since there are only few companies that manufacture Blu-ray players.

    The thing is this, working out what works for me as a prospective buyer. Reliability scores would be good, connectivity, warranty and ability.
