The ramp-up in DVD disc sales is exciting, and sales have increased more rapidly than expected. It appears that DVD-ROM sales are rapidly increasing, but we don't have any firm numbers yet. We do have firm numbers on the street prices for DVD-ROM drives. In the 3/16/98 PC WEEK, a Toshiba DVD IDE drive is listed for $139. The Toshiba 32X CD-ROM drive is $99. Only a $40 premium for DVD, without an MPEG2 decoder. cstar.com Bason Computer has slapped its name on a $289 DVD kit with a Toshiba drive, Cinemaster board (I think that CUBE is in the Cinemaster board), and a DVD movie -- the BC DVD-1002. basoncomputer.com

<< In January, Warner Home Video reported more than $50 million in wholesale DVD revenues just a>> Being mostly into numbers, and business, this news seems extremely exciting. Even a company the size of Warner Home Video would feel a significant impact on its' bottom line, even if these numbers just held up, instead of growing. While its seems that DVD is a superior technology, revenue drives the economic engine.Which I'm sure, is not being lost on Warner's competition. With a little luck I think were seeing the development of something special here.
