Apparently hoping to counter the "PS3-effect" on Blu-ray sales, HD DVD backer Toshiba says it plans to put HD DVD drives in all of its laptops in 2008.
While the manufacturer currently provides optional HD DVD drives for its laptops, Toshiba Senior Vice President Hisatsugu Nonaka said today at a news conference that all Toshiba laptops will come with HD DVD drives next year. "The demand is there; people want to watch their favorite movies in high-definition on the road," explained Nonaka.
Danish from eXputer: "DLC for Baldur's Gate 3 could resolve some unanswered questions and offer more sought-after content for what is otherwise one of the greatest RPGs in recent memory."
See this is what damn near killed gaming in the first place, DLC! I respect a good game that’s already heavily content driven. Whatever happened to having a good game, playing it from start to finish, and then enjoying it for what it was and waiting for a sequel with a whole new outlook? I hate the fact that there are people out there willing to get nickeled and dimed by developers then complain about how we get pelted with unnecessary dlc.
I feel more devs need to do what they are doing. Tbh, I couldn’t care less if dlc was gone completely. I could go as far as saying dlc ruins game preservation as well. Not going to go too deep into that but basically Baldur’s Gate devs gets my thumb of approval.

The official launch of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is finally upon us! The game is now available for PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and PC.
Thats good and all, but they need someone like Dell or HP to adopt the HD drive.
If you can get Dell or HP on your side you'll have good market penetration coming into 08'.
exists because people play their PS3's on HDTV's. I'm not going to start buying HD-DVD's simply because my laptop can play them. I would be happier as a current supporter of the format though since movie I've already bought can be played on medium other then an HDTV.
Well I'm looking at a Mac Book Pro but so far they haven't came out with a HD or BD drive.
So I'm holding off until I see HD or BD or both.

that move, by putting Blu_Ray drives in all Vaoi's. The fact is, there are tons of options for laptops, and putting it in their laptops wont have that big of an impact, but just make their laptop more expensive and less mainstream right now. I personally wouldnt want to watch a HD movie on my small LCD screen laptop, i wouldnt mind dvd for that. Now, Watching DVD vs. Blu-RAY on my HDtv, i'd def. go with the blu-ray. So, Toshiba can try with their laptops, but Sony can easily counter, and still end up on top. HD-DVD is over folks, its a sinking ship. Get over it. Blu-Ray is here to stay.
And for the people that say Digital Distribution is going to kill both.
First off, thats pretty far off into the future, and second, Blu-Ray discs will still be valued because you'll need them to burn the data that you dloaded in the first place.
