NEC Develops Chipset For Blu-Ray / HD-DVD Recorder

[PV5150]

In the madness that is the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray format war, NEC have used a little common sense in their approach. Would you rather the a one drive does all option, as opposed to the alternative of being forced to decide which format you'll choose? Let's face it, currently it feels like the betamax/VHS of the past.

He's not showing age; he's showing experience. PV's a kid at heart!

Aww thanks mate and Raven, that's what I like to think. Growing old (and not having fun) scares the hell outta me. Even when I'm 70, I hope to be defying my age (mentally anyway lol)
