Comparison Table

With all that extra capacity Blu-ray and HD DVD
deliver other new data storage possibilities too

With capacities of up to 50GBs Blu-ray and HD DVD are great for large scale storage use too. With up to 
50 GBs you’ll find both technologies offer vast space saving possibilities. When you think about it, its only 
a few years ago that your PC would have had a smaller hard drive than the size of one of these new 
disc technologies!

One thing that will please everyone is that it is likely that several manufacturers will start to produce drives
capable of using both new formats.

You’ll find new drives and recorders don’t just sit under the TV either, they are also available as internal and
external drives for your PC. You can either upgrade the internal drive or simply buy a new external one.
Remember both Blu-ray and HD DVD drives and recorders are backwards compatible allowing you to use and
record both CD and DVD media on either drive type.

Take a look at these two new formats.

Just think, the days of sending people many discs may be gone forever.
With up to 50GBs at hand the future has never looked so future-proof!

Suddenly High Definition video recording is a reality;
music and video can be recorded with no loss of
quality; games will be far more life-like and vast
amounts of data can be stored on just one disc.
The 50GB disc is now a reality.

Blu-ray or HD DVD recorder / player

The addition of a surround sound system to produce
the fantastic audio quality to accompany the HD
video content. Wait ‘til you hear what Blu-ray and
HD DVD can produce!
