Love the article's title! So fitting...

"Toshiba might agree: The Hollywood Reporter has sources telling it that Toshiba, the main backer of the HD DVD, might drop its allegiance with the format in the next few weeks.

Toshiba denies it, but stay tuned. There's likely much more to come in this drama. "

Blu-ray.com news in 5, 4 ,3... .... .....

WimeTime · 02-15-2008, 03:03 PM

Did I read that the article said BestBuy will stock blu-ray products exclusively? If I missed this announcement please go gentle...

Spankey · 02-15-2008, 03:07 PM

I think it's safe to say that HD-DVD had a BAD week.

JTK · 02-15-2008, 03:07 PM

So the cheap Chinese players aren't coming to save the day at Wal Mart and win the format war for HD-DVD like was promised us for the better part of two years?

Goodguy818 · 02-15-2008, 03:07 PM

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

dadkins · 02-15-2008, 03:08 PM

LOL!
It just keeps getting better and better!

"Wrote Susan Chronister of Wal-Mart: "By June Wal-Mart will only be carrying Blu-ray movies and hardware machines, and of course standard-def movies, DVD players, and up-convert players."

"So," she continues, not mincing words, "if you bought the HD (DVD) player like me, I'd retire it to the bedroom, kid's playroom, or give it to your parents to play their John Wayne standard-def movies, and make space for a BD player..."

OWNED!!!
