The rumors about Toshiba’s newfound (forced) love for Blu-Ray are officially true as Toshiba has confirmed it has applied to become a member of the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) and wants to release products that support the high-def format.

Although not providing specifics, Toshiba has revealed that it will start releasing Blu-Ray players and notebooks equipped with Blu-Ray drives by the end of this year. Finally.

Toshiba makes great products, usually less expensive than Sony or Panasonic counterparts. This will make another quality choice for those not born with, or having acquired, a silver spoon in their mouth.
