News New HD media disc coming from China

Pretty silly, it's probably just to help the government censor and oppress its people a little more.

 

is this the same format that the Chinese introduced when DVDs came out? I think whole point is that it has the same amount of storage as a HD DVD but on a standard DVD format not a HD Disk or Blu-Ray disk as it uses the same laser as a standard DVD player so that could be a plus, if Im thinking that this is the same formate as before if not then completely disregard this comment.

 

The only thing that has me worried, is if China is pushing this standard, then where will the cheap "ASDA/Argos" cheap BR/HD-DVD players be coming from?? That is the only standing point in the format war IMHO
