It amazes me how in just a few weeks it has gone from "this fight will last at least one more year" by most regards, to "last one out, please shut off the lights" for HD-DVD.

Surprising, to say the least. Everything just went to hell in a handbasket for Toshiba.

For a division of Toshiba, unless they invested the whole company's cash reserves in HD-DVD.

The thing I find funny is when people say: BD is better, no HD-DVD is better...

From a technical perspective, (the quality of the movie), they are the exact same thing. Same codec’s go on both disks.

BD did not win because it was “Better”, they only won because there was more support for it. I only care that it won because I have a BD player in my PS3. If it lost though, It’s no big deal to me... it just would have meant I had to pay $100 for the player down the road.

The world does not come to an end for me regardless of who wins.
