Although Toshiba and Microsoft threw their not-inconsiderable weight behind HD DVD, it became clear that Sony's Blue-ray would win out in the latest format war.

Beating a dead horse... bringing up/asking something that has been discussed a thousand times before

But we already knew Toshiba was going to be selling Blu-ray hardware, right? I mean, this is just the first step to that. I don't think this really means anything that we didn't already know.

This news and the Apple news are great. If computers/laptops start coming standard with Blu Ray then that's a huge step forward.

A lot of us had predicted this as early as 2006. Toshiba could have saved themselves a lot of embarrassment.

This is my thought exactly. I will be really excited to see Apple integrate BD into thier laptops.
