It's official Blu-Ray wins - Toshiba steps down!

Let's hope that ll players in the digital media business now move some attention to Blu-ray and the needs of their customers.... hint hint.

As I said before, look at sales figures and you may draw the conclusion that the war isn't quite over yet! Read what Mr. Sweeting says about all of it.

A war is over once one of the combatants packs up and goes home. The president of Toshiba has confirmed that they are abandoning HD DVD.

Especially telling was the fact that Toshiba never produced their promised internal HD-DVD burners for workstations, that were announced almost 18 months ago. That failure was an early indicator that Blu-Ray had won.

Onward and upward. This is good news for us all...and especially for the public in general. More info....

Today is the day that it is no longer a rumor.

Toshiba has announced that it will cease making or marketing HD-DVD.
