Chinese HD DVD players on the horizon?
Could there be inexpensive Chinese manufactured HD DVD players available in the near future? That’s the hope of the HD DVD Promotional Group as a steering committee of the DVD Forum has approved the final draft of a memorandum with the leading Chinese developer of optical discs. This could very well lead to creation of a Chinese HD DVD format which would translate fairly inexpensive Chinese manufactured HD DVD players. Keep in mind of course that a Chinese HD DVD format would differ somewhat with the global HD DVD format but one would assume .. or presume that Chinese based HD DVD players would be compatible with the general HD DVD spec if all goes well. Again - this could very well lead to inexpensive HD DVD players flooding not only the Chinese market but potentially the global market.
