Besides Sony Pictures/Columbia
TriStar and MGM which Sony recently purchased Hollywood's movie companies have so far sat on
the fence in the Blu-ray Disc vs. HD-DVD fight. Japan Today reports however that 20th Century Fox has now
revealed that it will join Sony's camp and release high definition movies in the
Blu-ray Disc format.
Twentieth Century Fox
Film Corp, a major U.S. movie distributor, will adopt the Blu-ray disc
standard for next-generation DVD players developed by Sony Corp and
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co and other companies, the Nihon Keizai
Shimbun reported Sunday.
The economic daily said
Twentieth Century Fox's move may give the Blu-ray disc standard an
advantage over HD DVD, another format for DVD players developed by Toshiba
Corp, NEC Corp and other
companies. |
