Toshiba Blu-ray player
Japan’s own Yomiuri is reporting today that Toshiba is expected to finally admit defeat and enter the dark, devious world of Blu-ray later this year. For those keeping tabs, we’ve heard both confirmations and denials about the outfit finally caving and supporting the format it once battled so valiantly, but this seems to solidify it. If machine translation is to be believed, the company’s first DVD / Blu-ray deck is slated for release somewhere in the world by the year’s end. The article also mentions that Tosh is strongly considering a Blu-ray recorder for the Japanese market, though no further details on that are available. C’mon Toshiba — get this bad boy to the States before Christmas.
