Niveus Goes Blu-ray Exclusive
Posted February 18, 2008 08:09 AM by Josh Dreuth
Niveus, producer of home media servers, has announced that effective immediately they will offer Blu-ray drives on all of their server products and will begin phasing out their HD DVD supplies. As a former HD DVD supporter, the company is abandoning the format due to consumer demand for Blu-ray products and current market shifting towards Blu-ray.
Tim Cutting, CEO and Co-Founder, Niveus Media commented, "Incorporating Blu-ray into our offering has always been part of the plan but the demand from our customers, market trends, and recent announcements expedited our decision to come to market with Blu-ray support sooner rather than later. While we have stood behind HD DVD as a viable high-definition platform, Niveus engineers have been running Blu-ray in our testing facilities and are very impressed with the performance and integration with our servers."
Existing customers who purchased servers with HD DVD drives in the past 90 days will be eligible to upgrade to their Blu-ray product line for no additional cost.
