Hollywood Reporter/NHK Japan: "Toshiba to drop HD DVD, sources say"

[ESUNintel]

They really should drop it and focus on their HDTV's more, as all the good manufacturers (Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, etc...) seem to be doing a lot better than Toshiba when it comes to HDTV quality.

[GreenScar]

Mmmmph I imagine they're just reeeaaaally bitter about losing.

[richard lichtenfelt]

I knew once they canceled their CES party and conference that they were done, but wouldn't admit it before selling as much of the already produced hardware as possible.
The firesale began right after CES.

Should have been done on Jan 5th.. imho

I don't want Toshiba to drop hd-dud yet. They aren't in bankruptcy yet.

All the HD DUD fanboys are secretly hoping that Toshiba makes the announcement on Feb. 29th that way they only have to be reminded every 4 years.

It is quite tactical

[richard lichtenfelt]

It was done behind closed doors just before CES. Just won't be official until they can unload more of the already made hd dvd players.

[Nerdkiller likes BD]

Just like what Vince McMahon does to his employees, Nfinity and Truth Teller are lookin' set to kiss my ass. C'mon. Kiss me, I'm Irish!

[Canada]

my question would be who doesn't.

[dlshelt]

If true I think it's the best news I'll hear so far!

This is taken from the Hollywood Reporter article:

"Software sales have declined as well. The latest Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales data show the top-selling Blu-ray Disc title for the week, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's "Across the Universe," sold more than three times as many copies the week ending Feb. 10 as the top HD DVD seller, Universal Studios Home Entertainment's "Elizabeth: The Golden Age." Blu-ray Disc titles also accounted for 81% of all high-def disc sales for the week, with HD DVD at just 19%."

I think this topic is spreading faster than the WB announcement, but I'm all for it! I think the more the subject is talked about the more likely it is to happen *fingers crossed!*
