    Arrow HD DVD Conceding Defeat This Week? - Condeded!

    Strong industry rumors are leading many editors to believe that this week will mark the end of the high definition DVD format war. If things go as suspected, and industry insiders are correct, then Toshiba will announce that it has conceded the format war to Blu-ray and begin making preparations to adjust its hardware development accordingly. The most significant eventuality of this will be the ultimate release of a Toshiba Blu-ray player sometime in 2009.

    i don't know about you guys, I'm feeling that if toshiba sells new BD players ... it will be a combo player (hd dvd and bd)

    i'd be happy about that.

    I'm sure they will eventually start selling BD players, they have to start turning some type of profit after the gigantic loss they are taking on dumping HD DVD.
