Blu-ray Announcements From IFA 2007: Liveblogging the Conference

Well, Bluray have got their first, by ensuring their press conference is the day before HD DVDs, and therefore they're first to declare that they are winning the format war. But don't worry, no doubt you'll hear something to the contrary tomorrow.

In Western Europe currently, apparently 94% of high def players are Blu-ray, if you include PS3s. This is likely to increase as Sony's recently announced Play TV makes the PS3 more attractive.

We've just been told that Hitachi are going to be making a Very Important Announcement in relation to Bluray at their press conference tomorrow.

Warner Home Video announce that they're going to launch Oceans 11,12 and 13 simultaneously, as well as Harry Potter 1-5 so that customers can watch the whole lot togther.

More stats: Bluray discs are outselling HD-DVD 3:1 in Western Europe at the moment, since the launch of the PS3.

Disney sees format benchmarks in terms of releasing their cartoons.In Autumn 2008 Sleeping Beauty will be launched as a Platinum Edition, which means heaps and heaps of lovely extras.
