Email Blu-Ray hype from Pioneer

[ebenton]

Looks like Pioneer is getting into the Blu-Ray hype business with emails such as this one:

"You may have heard about a new technology garnering a lot of attention lately, Blu-ray Disc. It's the latest in optical disc storage to allow you to maintain personal digital files, and more importantly, archive your favorite high-definition and standard definition content on a single disc.

You'll begin to notice Blu-ray Disc computer drives, players and recorders finding their way to your local retail stores in 2006. At up to 50GB of storage space on one dual layer disc, you'll be able to record and burn the entire season of your favorite one-hour drama (22 episodes in MPEG-4 AVC encoding) rather than the six-disc collection you find at a store. On a practical level, you'll be able to preserve a huge collection of MP3 files, precious home movies or digital images in one place rather than searching through a multitude of discs trying to find the file you need. Yet, these are only a few of the potential applications made possible through Blu-ray Disc.

As a leader in optical disc technology from the days of LaserDisc to DVD and DVD recording, Pioneer is applying its industry expertise to the development of products for the next generation optical disc - Blu-ray Disc. To make sure you know all about its many advantages, we created a Learn About Blu-ray Disc webpage for you to visit and discover how Blu-ray can enhance your life.

Keep an eye out for our newsletters throughout the year where we'll let you know about the latest and greatest developments coming your way."

I can hardly wait for thos nice Pioneer folks to steer me in the right direction!

I got one, too. I guess that's the 'penalty' for registering at their site.

Well, I'll wait and see.....
