After much speculation and comparison to the VHS Betamax wars of old a winner has emerged in the High Def. movie market. Toshiba have officially announced (via) that they are no longer going to produce HD DVD’s. Considering that at least 5 of the major studios have gone with the Sony backed Blueray it’s hardly surprising. Hopefully this will mean that consuming units start coming down in price.

Could HD-DVD be dead? A lot of people rumoured that once a so called “main player” went one way or the other it could sway the market.

With Blockbuster’s decision to go Blu-ray in over 1500 of it’s US stores you’ve got to think it could be a swaying factor.

Still not going to buy one just yet mind you!
