Sun Joins Illustrious Blu-ray Board

Sun and Blu-ray - Image 1 Sun and Blu-ray - Image 2 


From the looks of it, Blu-ray is getting all the support it needs...and maybe even more. Recently, the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) announced that Sun Microsystems will join their board. Why? Sun's Java powers the interactivity of Blu-ray, so it would be more surprising if they weren't given that illustrious seat in the BDA board. Among Sun's future seatmates in the boardroom are Apple, Sony Corporation, Twentieth Century Fox, Walt Disney Pictures, Samsung among many other big time companies.

In the still-running Berlin IFA, it seems that Blu-ray is gaining more support compared to its adversary, HD-DVD. Mike Dunn, President of 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, announced a roster of 8 films that will be released on Blu-ray, including Ridley Scott's Holy Wars epic movie, Kingdom of Heaven (Director's cut). The title boasts of extensive use of Java-driven interactivity, including a video game that uses scenes from the film.

On a more personal note, we would like to thank TheProfessor for the tip.

ummm to bad your the sad one. Seeing that this post is IN the PS3 forum I can only assume that this little piece of info is about the PS3 "movie player" seeing that the line up of br movies are getting larger and the line up of ps3 games that are coming out is getting smaller. Just like the psp there's still more than twice as the amount of umd movies out there then umd games....
