Just what the world needs!Sony has launched a new audio CD format dubbed Blu-spec, which apparently allows users to burn discs with the Blu Laser Diode system without losing compatibility with existing CD drives.
(Backwards compatibility is always a good idea with any kind of new product!)
(BTW, do you think they will try to revive Digital Audio Tape -- remember DAT? -- anytime soon?)
Sony expects to offer about 60 titles by Christmas and holiday season shopping time, but Blu-spec discs currently are only available in Japan.
(Be great if the Blue Man Group were involved in the marketing and promotion ... I accept no fee for that free marketing advice.)
