Bluray won the HD format war!

Now it's official: Bluray finally won the HD disc format war over the HD-DVD format.
Just as expected I might say :-)

Today Toshiba announced that they will stop any further development of the media and players that support the HD-DVD format. However they will continue to support and repair the players and other gadgets already sold.

They say that they won't be doing any Bluray stuff themselves but rather focus on all the other areas that they can impact the adoption of High Definition technologies (such as TV sets etc.).

Congratulations to Sony for succeeding in pushing a new technology and helping Blueray to win over HD-DVD.

Microsoft stays silent on their future HD strategies.
