53 Comments
Sony Pictures has completed the first full-length Blu-ray disc and will be shipping it to hardware manufacturers for player testing. The movie, "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," was recorded in MPEG-2 high definition, which offers a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels.
The move by Sony follows recent criticism by Blu-ray detractors over a vague launch date for the next-generation DVD technology. Sony has still not committed to a time frame for public availability, only stating that mass production of Blu-ray movies would begin in the "near future."
