Sony May Sell HD-DVDs

Posted by Zonk on from the anything-is-possible dept.

MarkRH writes "Although many sites posted the Reuters story on Sony merging its optical storage operations with NEC, people forget that NEC is one of the four senior members of the HD-DVD Promotion Group. What this means is that by next year the merged unit could sell CD drives, DVD drives, Blu-Ray, and 'perhaps even that other format,' a Sony spokesman told eWEEK. A bit shocking, given the acrimonious nature of the rivalry so far."

    SONY isn't as confident as it was 5 years ago. (its stock price fell 70% in the last 5 years) Before it was one proprietary format after another...now it is playing it safe by investing the other guy's technology.
