Toshiba Announces Discontinuation of HD DVD Businesses

The HD war is finally over. Hope that the technology will be made accessible for all.
Like the VHS recorder

 

Just a matter of time.

Now i can finally buy a DVD player.

 

i feel sorry for all those who bough a hd-dvd player. what a waste of money that would have been. but ye this war was quite close rele cos both produced the same quality video i reckon, it was just which one was more accesible and as sony had their blu-ray player in their ps3, there were therefore gonna win.

 

Thank god i'd be dissapointed if HD ever won cuz the max is what 10-20 gigs both sides compared to blu rays 40-80 gig standard. 3 years we'd be storing 80 gigers on 1 compact disc ftw.

 

Thanks for the news article. Now to forward this to my co-worker (hardcore XBox 360 fan).

 

Ah success... and damn u guys beat me to the news =P

It was pretty funny actually, the HD-DVD camp was getting crushed in recent weeks... one announcement after another of dropping support: best buy, blockbuster, netflix... and now death...

 

shit was bound to happen...R.I.P. hahahaha....

 

everyone knew this was going to happen

 

about time...this was due to happen after HD-DVD was getting punch in the face week after week after week...now i can finally get all of those hd-dvd movies only for blu-ray

 

Bound to happen sooner or later, I'm glad I didn't invest at the beginning of this war.

 

Since the HD Wars are over and Blu ray side wins. For the laggers or late-adopters, YA CAN NOW BUY YAR BLU RAY PLAYER or PS3 -evil

 

hell yea they should... screw those pple wanting the ps3 for cheaper..!! raise it to 1,000 dollars for one!!

hahahah I want my PS3 to appreciate..

 

i think the better product this time won. but that doesnt mean pricewise it will be better for us. but nevertheless we will see the exciting transition of dvd to brd in the coming era.

 

ye with its larger capacity discs it is the better product. but the vast majority of ppl prob won't buy it for another few years at which then the prices will have dropped.

 

to think, if M$ bundled a HD DVD player with the 360 as standard, how all this could be different

 

microsoft didnt gamble. and maybe toshiba negotiated with sony about it. today came the news that they will take over another factory of sony. maybe part of the deal.

 

M$ maybe a big superpower... but even M$ themselves can't keep a format up against Sony+Disney+Apple
