Samsung Completes Blu-ray Drives
6 Comments
Samsung said on Thursday it had completed development of its Blu-ray disc drives, paving the way for the company to begin manufacture of a line of players compatible with the format. However, Samsung was mum as to prices and a specific date for launch, only saying that drives would appear in 2006.
The company was notably format-agnostic in its announcement, extolling the virtues of both HD DVD and Blu-ray over traditional DVD in statements to the press. Samsung is a member of the Blu-ray Disc Association, however it has hinted that it may produce a dual-technology player compatible with both formats.
