Gaming
and Music Disc Industry Expert Advises Consumers to
WAIT to Purchase High-Def Players on Black Friday
The leader in disc repair and maintenance, VenMill Industries,
today announced that its in-house optical media expert,
Dan Diotte encourages consumers to hold off on making
a new high-definition video or music disc purchase.
The months leading up to today, the biggest shopping
day of the year, have been fraught with controversy
around the high-definition format war between Toshiba's
HD-DVD and Sony's Blu-Ray player/Play Station 3.
The purchasing season has officially
begun and media giants, Hollywood studios, and blogging
experts have been urging consumers to choose between
the two - leaving many consumers confused and uninformed.
"You don't have to decide yet",
said Dan Diotte. "History has taught us that only
one of these formats is going to come out on top, and
consumers who choose the wrong product will lose money,
time, and, of course, quality home viewing entertainment.
Wait to make this significant purchase until after the
holidays, and after one of the two options appear to
be leading the way to the next level of home entertainment."
WHO: Dan Diotte, founder of Venmill
Industries, is an expert in the optical media industry.
Diotte has spent years researching and developing mechanical
devices to repair severely damaged CDs and DVDs. His
background in mechanical engineering and the science
of polymer longevity led to the discovery of Optoclear
technology. In January, Diotte will be launching the
personal and home "Skip Away" disc cleaner
and restoration system. VenMill Industries is the leading
manufacturer of disc repair and maintenance machines
for disc format optical media. Its flagship product,
the VMI 3500, is currently in use at video store chains,
libraries, corporations and personal collections around
the globe, to repair and maintain DVDs, CDs, Game Discs
and HD-DVDs while maintaining the integrity of the discs.

WHY: -- There is no guarantee that either HD-DVD or
Blu Ray will be
the clear leader a year from now. If consumers invest
in one
format, and it goes away, they will lose their investment
and
need to re-purchase a player, discs, accessories, etc.
-- A universal console may be developed soon after
the
holidays, allowing consumers to enjoy both of the new
format
options.
-- Consumers need more information to make the right
decision.
Many people don't know important details about both
products
such as:
-- Blu-Ray discs are irreparable.
-- HD-DVD and Blu-Ray players work with both high
definition and older format DVDs.
-- Regardless of which player 'wins' the format war,
maintenance and repair of current disc collections (
DVDs, CDs, Video Games, data storage) is essential.
The new discs will contain so much condensed information;
they will be
incredibly susceptible to dirt, scratches, and damage
to the integrity of the disc.
