No Toshiba BluRay drives
Category: other notebook news
The HD-DVD inventor Toshiba still won’t install BluRay drives in its notebooks.
Toshiba did not equip any of its notebooks with a BluRay drive so far, and this won’t change in the future. The Toshiba senior vice president Yoshihide Fujii told, that they won’t equip a recorder or player with a BluRay drive.
External observers think that there are two reasons for this statement. Firstly, the manufacturer does not want to support its competitor Sony. Secondly, the BluRay Disc Association wants a $ 30 fee for each device which offers a BluRay drive.
In a former interview Toshiba representives told us, that Toshiba counts on downloadable HD content or other alternative storage methods (SD cards for example).
