Format War Over: Toshiba gives up HD-DVD

[Walter Biscardi]

It was announced yesterday that Wal-Mart would only carry Blu-ray in a few months. As much as I don’t like Wal-Mart, when the largest retailer in the world chooses one format over the other, that’s a very large blow.

I’ll tell you what blows, is that 2 months ago I dropped 400 bucks on a Toshiba A30, that’s what blows!

Great machine tho. Maybe someday it’ll be a collector’s item!

Have a wonderful day.

That’s likely to happen anytime you buy the bleeding edge of tech… but that said, I’m really glad Blu-Ray is going to win this… it’s a far superior format, and has a future upgrade path that HD DVD’s just don’t.

Agreed Jerry. Maybe this will be the red hot poker that motivates Apple to introduce – at the very least basic – Blu-ray authoring in DVDSP!

Sorry about that, but I’m just happy my $4,500 investment in BluRay authoring is going to still be worth something tomorrow! 🙂

Funny Warren,

And don’t forget your 8 track player!

Have a wonderful day.

The email I got from Netflix saying they were dumping HDDVD pretty much sealed it for me.

I have to look around at BluRay players now. Anybody have a recommendation on something that’s not $999?

[Warren Eig]

Was at Costco this week. They had a Sony Blu-ray player for $379.00.
