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'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.

That would be nice
"...and when you aren't looking, I'll burn your Blu-Ray discs while you sleep at night," said the Toshiba combo player.

Too bad that the more reliable format is going to go. I plan on buying as many hd-dvds that i can get my hands on (good movies at least)
