DailyTech - Toshiba Officially Surrenders in HD Format War

Toshiba Announces Discontinuation of HD DVD Businesses

Quote:
For now, HD DVD owners may enjoy the flurry of clearance sales happening over the next few weeks, as retailers rid themselves of product. On a practical level, HD DVD movies share near identical characteristics with an equivalent Blu-ray Disc release; and in some cases, the HD DVD release is superior thanks to its more mature support of special features.







Thanks HL and Corsair!

screwball, TV 1st, then the player =D
tbh, i didn't think HD was all that either (didn't have one my 4 yrs of college)
Came home and started watching sports and shows in HD, and damn i can't watch it anyway else lol. I have a normal TV in my room, that i only play my PS2/Gamecube games on, for PS3/Movies/NBA/MLB/NFL, i trek it down to the basement's Sharp Aquos 52 in LCD. It really is true that once you go HD, SD just looks so bland





(thanks blake!)
