Blue Ray
Technologies announced today that they have opened a new television division to help producers put their shows on Blu-ray Disc. With its
greater capacity, Blu-Ray Technology claims that it can be cheaper to put a complete season of a TV show on Blu-ray disc rather than on
multiple DVD's.
Blue Ray Technologies is launching a new television division to serve the burgeoning Hi-Def TV market
with Blu-ray discs. With virtually all network and cable shows now shot in High Definition, a new market for Blu-ray DVDs is springing up
for TV fans.
The home market for TV show on DVD is well-established: about 100 "Complete Season" sets, specials and TV movies are
released every month - more than tripling new theatrical titles.
Complete Season releases can actually be cheaper to networks and
consumers than regular DVDs as 13 episodes will fit into a single 25 gigabyte Blu-ray disc, rather than four DVDs. Boxed DVD sets
retailing at $49 -$79 presently could be sold in the $29 -$39 range, with store prices being much less.
