Panasonic has always provided an extremely high optical drive for notebook manufactures, that's why Apple is a partner of theirs and has exclusives from them inside their systems.

It really doesn't matter what M$ supports, as long as there is so many companies backing blu-ray, there will be support in the OS.]]>Dec 11th 2006 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/Dec 11th 2006 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/Dec 11th 2006 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/
It wouldn't matter if a Dell had 8 server processors, 4 tb of storage and 4 video cards, it's not worth the price of packaging to buy a computer that won't work on you.]]>Dec 11th 2006 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/Dec 11th 2006 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/Dec 11th 2006 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/

true... it's still a dell... tsk tsk tsk]]>Dec 11th 2006 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/
They should have gone HD-DVD - at least there would've been some longevity there. Blu-ray will just be another dead format in a year, along with every other Sony format.]]>Dec 11th 2006 7:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/Dec 11th 2006 11:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/Dec 12th 2006 3:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/Dec 12th 2006 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/
Even if this is true, I say, "So what?"

First of all, Japan is only one country in this big, big world of ours and hardly going to be a singular force that determines which format will dominate the market.

Secondly, everyone should know that Japan is Sony-crazed and will do anything to get their hands on anything Sony. If it weren't for the Japanese, Sony probably wouldn't enjoy nearly the same level of success they have as the Japanese are probably the largest consumers of Sony products. I'll put it to you this way: You could take a crap in the middle of a street in Japan and slap the Sony label on it, and in five seconds, you wouldn't see the slightest indication that you had ever took a dump in the first place. A product or technology being lackluster is largely irrelevant in Japan, so long as it has the Sony brand name on it. In Japan, Sony = blockbuster hit.]]>Dec 13th 2006 5:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/11/dell-xps-m1710-decks-the-halls-with-blu-ray/
yea... and we all know how popular Minidiscs were in Japan. Did the rest of the world decide to change from CDs to MDs? Nope.]]>Dec 29th 2006 8:30PM
