Toshiba to quit HD-DVD?

[kaliraver]

I was just reading the blog of Mr. Bill Hunt and he talked about the HD-DVD group not showing up for Hi-Def 2.0. Their was some awards for HD-DVD won that day but nobody from the HD-DVD camp was there including Universal. Here is an excerpt from the blog:

Well... we're back from High-Def 2.0, which was actually quite a lot of fun. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the Home Media-sponsored conference (and something that was a definite topic of discussion among the attendees over the course of the day) is that the HD-DVD format was a total no-show. Not a single representative of the format was in attendance, despite the fact that they were invited and genuine efforts were made to keep the conference panels and events balanced. What's more, a number of HD-DVD titles won honors at the High-Def Awards last evening (click here for the details), and only Warner and Paramount sent representatives to accept. Universal was represented by no one.

I hope Toshiba has woke up and is finally throwing in the towel. Heres hoping that they finally give up and let us enjoy all the HD movies on Blu-Ray.
