Two companies have joined the Blu-ray Disc Association.
China Hualu Group (CHLG) is one of China's leading manufacturers of audio and video devices. In a statement they said they believed Blu-ray offered the best opportunity to market for the company.
“Hualu Group is committed to actively help improve Blu-ray Disc formats and becoming involved in its promotional activities in the Chinese market," said Chen Run Sheng, CEO of the Group.
Meanwhile, Acer joins HP, Dell, Lenovo, and Sony, as PC manufacturers supporting the high definition disc format, though it should be noted that they've produced HD DVD notebooks in the past.
The news is probably more significant for the Chinese market, but shows that companies taking sides is far from over.
