  Can HD-VMD Rival Blu-ray And HD DVD?

By Sarah Falson | Tuesday | 25/09/2007

US-based publicly-listed home entertainment manufacturer New Medium Enterprises (NME) has entered the Australian market with a High-Definition Versatile Multilayer Disc (HD-VMD) player and media which it believes has the capacity (pardon the pun) to rival the Blu-ray and HD DVD high definition disc formats, in part due to its extraordinarily low selling price.

Westan Digital will distribute the products locally as well as in New Zealand and Asia, bringing "an affordable true HD packaged media solution to consumers across the region," according to the company.

Icon Film Distribution is also getting in on the act with blockbuster titles such as We Were Soldiers, Footy Legends, The Queen, Hitcher and Butterfly Effect II bundled with the players. Icon hasn't put its hand up to back either of the other two high definition formats.

NME has also signed-up Bollywood film production company Eros Group.
