Toshiba's counter, or surrender? - Blu-ray Forum

Well Toshiba might not give up but hundreds of thousands of HD DVD owners are. I'm gonna hold on to my favorite HD DVD's but that is it. Blu-Ray is the future, Toshiba should stop HD DVD production. Didn't the BDA invite Toshiba to join the BDA a few months ago?

I am sure I read something about a certain Sony Rep who extended a hand towards them...if I remember correctly, they slapped it away shortly afterwards.

How can TOSHIBA still able to fight back when they have no more weapons.

I do think the Insiders said that Tosh was in a contract with MS and would not be able to Produce BD players anytime soon.

it's going to be a domino effect....

1. neutral owners will be hesitant to buy hd-dvd now when they know that they'll get it eventually in blu-ray down the road. Only the true hardcare hd-dvd fanboys will continue to buy and support hd-dvd
2. more sales for the blu-ray players and movies going forward
3. more stores to stop carrying hd-dvd
4. hd-dvd continues to lose $ billions each year if they continue to carry on
5. more discount on players and movies ahead
6. and the list goes on and on

Without software, you just can't survive and be profitable.
