Super-DVD 5D disc is 5 to 10 years away'¦ meh
All the brouhaha about Blu-ray needing to watch out because researchers have created a disc that can store 1.6TB of data today (and 10TB to come) is a bit of a load of bollocks, with the technology up to a decade away from commercialisation and even 10TB due to look teensy-weensy by then.

The death of Blu-Ray? New DVD disc stores 1.6 terabytes
There has been speculation about the long term future of disc media, speculation that grew as the HD DVD and Blu-Ray optical disc formats fought out a close war for domination of the HD video market. Blu-Ray’s format win could be short lived, if a new disc format – known as 5D DVD -promising 1.6 terabyte storage capacity hits the commercial market.

H.264 coming to Silverlight at last
Microsoft's getting with the program: the company has previewed support for H.264 video content in Silverlight. Some may question why it has taken Redmond so long to embrace the video standard.

Samsung loves Blu-ray today but says only 'œ5 years' left
A top Samsung UK executive has demolished Blu-ray’s chances of being
relevant for more than about 5 years, if that, in an interview with UK
tech site Pocket-link. How “blu” must Sony be feeling with Samsung
right now?!

Blu-ray PC drive prices slashed - but are they slashed enough?
We’re a long, long way from $50 Blu-ray drive prices and less than $1
per blank Blu-ray disc as we are in the world of CDs and DVDs, but an
important step towards those price points being a reality has occurred
as prices have fallen. Still, aren’t hard drives way cheaper to buy
than Blu-ray drives and discs?!

Samsung makes predictable prediction: Blu-ray ftw!
A news report has quoted Samsung’s “bullish forecast” for Blu-ray
adoption and sales, but this is hardly a surprise now that it is the
only high-def optical format on the market. Still, has Blu-ray left its
run too late?

HD DVD not yet dead for Xbox 360 - final update?
Who said HD DVD was totally dead... yet? Microsoft are issuing a new
Xbox 360 HD DVD update which will auto update for Xbox Live members,
with a manual download option also available. Pity it won’t update
itself to a Blu-ray player!

Xbox 360 vs PS3 vs Wii Make up your own mind
There is only a couple of reasons why winning the console war is important to the consumers that purchase gaming consoles such as the Xbox 360, PS3 or Wii. IT journo's butting horns over which platform is on the way out ultimately mean nothing, only the informed consumer can determine the fate of a multi-national electronics conglomerate.

Panasonic's new Blu-ray player won't be their last
Panasonic's DMP-BD30 might have the Blu-ray 1.1 ‘Final Profile’ – but it will be
superseded by future Blu-ray 2.0 spec players in the future. That said,
it’s still packed with features – but wouldn’t you just buy a PS3
instead?

So, Universal: when will we see a Blu-ray title?
Now that NHK have reported Toshiba’s imminent announcement of HD DVD’s
death, Universal’s declaration earlier this year, in Australia, of ‘at
least’ 20 new titles during 2008, must look very shaky. How long now
before they too jump ship and go Blu?
