- DVD news: - Sales to U.S. dealers of DVD players were up 328% for the first 16 weeks of 1999 over the same period in 1998; for the 16th week, they were up 642%! If that rate continues, more than 3.5 million players will have been sold to U.S. dealers in 1999 alone. - Circuit City claims it is selling more Divx than open-DVD players and has 450 Divx titles available. - Blockbuster's initial public offering notice filed with the SEC May 6 says they "cannot predict the impact on us if Divx becomes widely available and accepted." - Pioneer plans to introduce a recordable 4.7 GB DVD system in June. The recorder will be around $5,000, disks $22. Carmac, hows this compare in cost to a 4.7 hard drive? Oh, well.
