WE HAD a chance to see Blu-ray one more time in action. Samsung is working hard to release this player in American retail in November.

Sources suggested that the player will end up at a saucy $999.99 price while Toshiba plans to sell its HD DVD player for $499 only.

The machine played a video of a rock band called Incubus and the nice chap showed us some special features such as changing the camera angle and a video and audio commentary that goes over the top of the music. We saw the similar things on DVD players years before but we have to admit that the picture quality is better and that the resolution is much better than a standard DVD.

We had the chance to see that the machine played a Blu-ray 25 GB recorded disk and mastered with a Sonic mastering and authoring software. Here is what the lens of our camera managed to capture. µ

Do you think the move was justified?
