This announcement just came in from Las Vegas, where the CES will rule this week's news. Verbatim announced that they will start shipping the World's first 2x-speed HD DVD-R and HD DVD-RW discs this quarter. By adding this product to their current portfolio Verbatim can now be called the broadest supplier of premium-quality HD DVD media products.
The new 2x-speed HD DVD-R and HD-DVD-RW discs will fill a 15GB HD DVD in about 30 minutes compared to one hour with a 1x-speed disc.
Shipment will start this quarter, and this means that this product will be available soon.
