I still think it's a low ball move by Toshiba to cut loss, I mean, over a million HD-DVD owners now face a completely obsolete machine.

Even Sony kept on selling Beta machine until late 2002.

 

I believe that was only in Japan. Beta did much better there than it did in NA or Europe, but still lost

 no, i'm not disputing that Beta lost, but for Toshiba to ditch it completely would be giving its own supporters the middle finger. You don't screw your own supports.

 

I hope Toshiba still produces burners and give support to those who own HD-DVD. 

Really what can they do. Sure they can keep making discs but whats the point. The only way I can see them supporting their fans is by having movie companies make like 100 000 or so copies of their lastest movies and selling them through an official site.

Anyway HD-DVD will come back sooner or later. Nintendo is always looking for reliable media with little to no royalties.
