Yakuza 2 to feature Japanese voice actors
Was the hype justified?
Alone in the Dark has gone goldInfodisc, a German optical disc manufacturer, has announced they will team up with Oerlikon to receive BD-ROM manufacturing equipment. In the coming days, Infodisc plans to install the hardware and become the first independent Blu-ray disc manufacturer in the Europe.
Infodisc independently manufacturing Blu-ray disc makes it possible for smaller, Independent, companies to distribute in the Blu-ray format. Since access to the Blu-ray equipment is easier and less expensive, more “smaller” companies in Europe are jumping on board the Blu-ray band wagon.
Michael Gotowski, CEO at Infodisc stated:
"We've evaluated the available Blu-ray production equipment and were primarily impressed by Oerlikon. The INDIGO line is approved by major replicators, features an excellent cover layer process and is mature for Blu-ray mass production."
Currently the companies can only produce BD-25s, but Oerlikon is working with Sony to develop a wet embossing process. Oerlikon expects to launch a BD-50 upgrade later this year.

this is great... "mass production" means cheaper BR disc its about time :D
Does this mean Europe will also have to pay even more?
No, nojoegohome, it means Europe will be getting a lot cheaper Blu-rays
psn id: gingo... yes cheaper but better films thats what i like to hear would this also include cheaper games i wonder????
blue Ray is really pushing this Generation
I would assume it means both. Mass production of movies would be stupid if the games tanked.
