A new disc has been announced by General Electric that can store 500GB of data, easily outstripping the likes of Blu-ray and (whisper it) HD DVD.

Warner Home Video has announced a new on-demand service, which offers both downloads and made-to-order DVDs of its classic movie back catalogue.

Netflix (the DVD, Blu-ray and streaming film rental company) just reported its latest subscriber figures, revealing that its customer base is growing faster than ever.

Pioneer has announced that it is to cease production of Laserdisc players. Yes, that's right those LP-shaped movie carriers that we all thought died out around the same time DVD came into play.
