Unfortunate for Toshiba, but good for consumers and a good sign of things to come for Sony. Finally I can buy Blu-ray disks without the lingering feeling (however unlikely) that they might be completely obsolete in a month. About time.

They have a scheduled press conference tonight at 5PM Tokyo time where it's expected that they will confirm what all the press has already reported. BTW that's 12PM PST tonight to you and me :) Well to be technical it’s all BUT official.

Its just an inside source but there are questions as to when it will be dropped etc. Basically I think its obvious it will be dropped, but this is not yet official. Its just like Paramount.

I'm not irately offended exactly, but it does seem just a tad insensetive, I mean come one, there are actual murdered people in that image. Somewhat greusome and strange especially when equated with a format war between to mega corporations. I feel the same way segitz.

I know the connection between the headline etc. but still, this makes me upset (in a mild way).

Even though this war dragged on for far too long I still can't believe how quickly it all seems to be ending. Toshiba really seemed game to screw most consumers over and hang in there. I've been Blu-Ray only for a while now, but this will make it so much easier to make sure people buying me discs won't make the mistake of nabbing an HD-DVD version. I got a few of those last year for Christmas from people. I hope I never again have to have the conversation that yes I am buying High Definition DVDs, but I'm not buying HD-DVDs. Now Blu-Ray can just be the HD-DVD... no confusion or questions. I can't wait to start buying Universal and Paramount movies! I’m just ready for Toshiba to finally admit defeat.
