The Blu-ray/HD DVD high quality video disc format battle is coming to Europe with leading suppliers Samsung, Sony and Toshiba lining up player launches this autumn.
In a move that will put its technology head-to-head with the Playstation 3 console and that will see its technology on shelves before the holiday shopping season, Toshiba has announced the launch of Europe’s first commercially available stand-alone HD DVD players.
Due to be available November 15, the HD-E1 will be the first model to offer HD DVD quality to European videophiles, while the step-up HD-XE1, will follow in early December, Toshiba said from Germany’s IFA consumer electronics show this week. Link
