ASUS Launches 12X Speed External Blu-ray Writer[teaser]The company says that the new BW-12D1S-U is the fastest external drive available for Blu-ray discs. [/teaser] The latest external Blu-ray writer from ASUS is said to be the fastest on the market. It's capable of burning Blu-rays at speeds of up to 12X thanks to the use of USB 3.0 and Optical Tuning Strategy (OTS) technology. According to ASUS, you'll be able to burn 50 gigs of data in less than 15 minutes - not too shabby. This is, of course, as long as you're using USB 3.0. You can still use the drive with USB 2.0, but you won't get the same speeds. As is true of all ASUS drives, the BW-12D1S-U is stylish. It's black, it's shiny, it's got a fancy diamond shape and it even glows blue. Source: eCousticsPosted Mon Apr 11, 2011 at 07:00 AM PDT by: -

Discs Will Dominate Until At Least 2015, Says Study[teaser]The lowering price point of rentals and lack of broadband across the country means physical media is sticking around for a while. [/teaser] Digital distribution gets a lot of love, and though Netflix has gained quite a bit of popularity, a recent study by the Digital Entertainment Group (DEG) says that digital distribution isn't taking over any time soon. Part of the reason is that there's no clear point of transition. When DVDs came out, you only really had one choice - get a DVD player. With digital distribution, you have a number of choices in both hardware and sources. It's a much more complex environment. The study also cited Redbox as a big help in keeping discs alive. Though studios don't always see eye to eye with the rental company, it's the low prices from Redbox that are driving disc rentals. Another concern, of course, is 3D. "3D content requires about twice the bandwidth as conventional 2D," says the study, adding that most homes won't have access to that kind of bandwidth in the near future.
