HP goes into dual-format territory

May 7th, 2007

HP goes into dual-format territory HP is clearly shaken by how Blu-ray sales have eclipsed HD DVD in such a short period, and have hedged their bets by taking the safest route possible - offering dual-format drives in a couple of their upcoming Pavilion desktop computers. At the end of the day, consumers will end up as the winner (which is good) while other companies co-operate to end this pseudo format war. A hybrid drive will definitely drive up the price of a PC by a handsome amount, but at least the consumer no longer needs to scratch his/her head when purchasing a high definition movie.
