Sony recently announced that it plans to release a fully functional Blu-ray recorder in Japan by the end of the year. It won't be the first such Blu-ray recorder released by the company (the BDZ-S77 was released in 2003 but couldn't play commercial Blu-ray discs and could only record onto discs enclosed inside cartridges; that's it up above), but this yet-unnamed recorder will actually be useful: it'll record onto normal, 25GB or 50GB non-cartridge Blu-ray discs and it'll play back commercial Blu-ray discs no problem. Good for Sony, making their Blu-ray players actually play Blu-ray content.
Sony intends on pushing the Blu-ray recorder as part of a high definition celebration of life in Japan during the upcoming months. No price or release date—Japanese or otherwise—has been released thus far. – Nichola

You know we likey our Blu-ray and HD DVD tech 'round here, but we heart hybrid capabilities even more. So today's announcement from Toshiba and Memory Tech of a triple-layer twin format HD DVD / DVD disc has certainly caught our attention. The new disc is capable of either a dual-layer 30GB HD DVD and single-layer 4.7GB configuration

If you're still a fence sitter in the HD DVD / Blu-ray war, and you just can't part with that sweet sounding 5.1 audio collection, home theater boutique Cary Audio Design has a new universal player that should fit the bill quite nicely while the high definition blows are being thrown. The DVD 8, debuting at CEDIA, plays nice with DVD, SACD, and DVD Audio, and sports the oh-so-touted 720p / 1080i upscalin

Acer isn't really messing around with their rollout of Core 2 Duo laptops. They've got 13 new ones, including six TravelMates and seven Aspires, and they've even managed to get Blu-ray or HD DVD drives into a few of them. The headliner of the bunch is the new TravelMate 8210, which runs the full range of Core 2 Duo chips, boasts of the Windows x64 OS, and tops it all off with a Blu-ray drive. You can upgrade the RAM to a max 4GB to really get the use out of the 64-bit Windows, and there are plenty o
