I hope it turns out to be true, but first Toshiba will have to announce that they are dropping HD-DVD since they have been hard-pressed against Blu-ray.
That's how the VHS vs. Beta War ended. One day, Sony started producing VHS players. They still produced Betamax players for a long time in Japan, even though there was no studio support.
This move would be effectively throwing the towel.
I am wondering about the Xbox 360 Ultimate Edition...
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

^^ will there be a 360 ultimate edition?
I really cant see Microsoft selling a more expensive machine for much of a profit.
But it would be cool IMO
̶3̶R̶D̶ 2ND! Place has never been so sweet.
It sounds like the usual Sony viral marketing to me. Toshiba won't make a Blu Ray player this year. They still have 2 of the biggest studios as exclusives.

Although the channels to sell them through are becoming limited very quickly.

Wow, I didn't think the HD war would end this soon. I guess it is for the best that it wasn't too drawn out.

there has to be, as games are getting bigger and bigger, MS will have to do summert, ok they could go multidisk, but thats just stupid when there is technology on the market, and if there is someone who dont know much about games consoles and wants one and looks and see's the PS3 bit more on price but you gte a blu-ray player then thats where they will proberly go, i think MS are scared that if theyy add it to there elite version its going to add well over £110(as the hd-dvd drive is £110 over here, which would make it uk price £409+ , well over the price of a ps3 which is £279 for 40GB + £62.20 for a 250GB Hard Drive (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/131277) . oh well looks like the PS3 is the cheapest
250GB PS3 = £341.20
Xbox ELite + Blu-Ray = £409 + subsciption fees
I hope toshiba do make them soon, they make good stuff normally a bit cheaper than sony as well, be nice in the guest bedroom,
If this is true, I am definately picking up a second blu ray player to compliment my PS3. If Toshiba makes it I have pretty much bought it except for the HD DVD playery because of the PS3. Hopefully it won't be to long until they offer their own Blue Ray drive for Laptops so I can change out the DVD player on my Toshiba Satellite and put the Blue Ray in
Systems I own (Games)
Sega: Dreamcast (40) , Saturn (25), Genesis (50), Masters System (10), Game Gear (20)
Sony: PS1 (8), PS2 (60) , PS3 (5), PSP (12)
Atari: 2600 (18) , 7800 (10), Lynx (10)
Why would Toshiba want to lose more money by investing in Blu Ray?, even the Blu Ray backers aren't falling over themselves to make new players. HD DVD may have failed but Blu Ray is hardly a model of success, just less of a failure.

Once the "war" is officially over sales will pick up by alot. Savvy consumers will be more commited and talkitive. Studios will release more titles. Retailers will be able to explain HD movies easier.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
