    Exclamation lack of lazer diodes for Blu Ray Players!!!

    [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
    Rumour has it Sony's still working out the kinks in Blu-Ray...



    As the gadget world prepares itself for the inevitable next-gen disc format war, the Internet is buzzing with talk of severe delays in the production of Blu-ray player components.


    Apparently, several manufacturers in the Blu-ray camp (Philips, BenQ and Lite-On) are a mite concerned over the fact that the producers of the necessary blue laser diodes - Sony and Nichia - are only able to make small quantities due to technical obstacles.


    Sony is one company with a hell of a lot riding on the success of Blu-ray, and will clearly be keen to ensure that production of its Blu-ray toting Playstation 3 console goes to plan.


    Trouble is, we're hearing of production problems for the PS3's Cell processor too - with between 80% and 90% of the chips failing Sony's high quality control checks, rendering them useless for the new console.
    Lets hope Sony can iron out the kinks in both Cell and Blu-Ray before too long. The clock is ticking, and there'll be trouble if we don't get our hands on a PS3 come 17/11/06.

    Sounds like more problems for the Japanese Electronics Giant.

    I hope they sort out their production problems or there could well be alot of unhappy consumers come the PS3 launce day.

    I'm starting to feel sorry for Sony, they are really taking a bashing at the moment...

    It's almost comical the amount of problems they have, I mean not having enough lazer diodes is a big problem that means less machines...

    When I think of the employee's and the stress they are under I wonder how many mental breakdowns there have been at Sony in the last 6 months...

    Come on Sony get it together!!!

    I will try Spiral Blu Ray is just a market name for a new form of media as far as I know and has no other meaning...

    Blu Ray is set to replace DVD as the media of choice the largest discs at the moment are 50GB but obviosly the players are limited to the slower speeds of around 1-4 due to the new technology...

    For game developers this is a big plus because they no longer have the limitations on storage they previously had and for movies there is no longer that double layer transistion and you won't see double discs anymore not to mention whole series on one disc and extra bonus content...

    Blu Ray was needed because of the demands of our technology nowadays more information is required for those Crystal clear HD (High Definition) pictures that will be used on PS3 & most Digital T.V. Satalite systems from now (SKY In England) and generally by next year... XBOX360 already has a HD function... (It has 6 cables that connect to the T.V.)

    Blu ray is not the only new media that is set to overthrow DVD though the old school DVD has now evolved into HD-DVD this is being backed by several big players the next big thing...

    The Hardrive is also a contender and will work by downloading via the internet whereas the Blu Ray Discs & HD-DVD you will need to insert and eject...

    I feel that the constrains of a hardrive will be it's downfull though especially when they somehow work out how to write to bluray (Some P.C.'s are already coming equiped with blu ray drives)

    It's gonna be a strait battle between the HD-DVD & BLU RAY Discs

    No Problem Spiral,

    Keep it locked to the Sony section of the forum for updates on any further Blu Ray developments...
