Toshiba to drop HD DVD, sources sayCompany says no decision has been madeBy Thomas K. Arnold and Erik Gruenwedel

The format war has turned into a format death watch.

Toshiba is widely expected to pull the plug on its HD DVD format sometime in the coming weeks, reliable industry sources say, after a rash of retail defections that followed Warner Home Video's announcement in early January that it would support only the rival Blu-ray Disc format after May.

如果TOSHIBA決定要放棄HD DVD
那就期待TOSHIBA出的BD播放機吧~

Sony也出過VHS，所以將來Toshiba若出BD也不奇怪。

In few weeks?! How shocking!
They said ,she said ,he said,whoever said. It is a done deal when Toshiba says officially.
A death watch sounds better than dying in few weeks.

頂多先放棄在影碟市場而已吧...

PC 市場若大量採用 HDDVD 當儲存媒介, 屆時 BD Player 也得反過來相容播放 HDDVD.

怎麼可能?
除了影片,甚麼東西大到要用HD DVD來裝?
就算有,BD也能做得到.
所以設定停損點是相對明智的決定!

當初投資BD陣營是對的.......東芝真的虧大了

想必過沒多久,市面上又有一堆出清的HD-DVD...流血大降價囉

對東芝只有一句話:

早死早超生

東芝遭眾叛親離後 終於要選擇自我了斷了嗎!?

自行了斷是聰明的決定~
不然再這樣流血不止下去.....
只會死的更慘

路透社也引述NHK, 發出報導：

http://www.reuters.com/article/companyNewsAndPR/idUSL1627196120080216

TOKYO (Reuters) - Toshiba Corp is planning to stop production of equipment compatible with the HD DVD format for high-definition video, allowing the competing Blu-Ray camp a free run, public broadcaster NHK reported on Saturday.


Toshiba is expected to suffer losses amounting to tens of billions of yen (hundreds of millions of dollars) to scrap production of HD DVD players and recorders and other steps to exit the business, Japan's NHK said on its website.

No one at Toshiba could be reached for comment.

The format war between the Toshiba-backed HD DVD and Sony Corp's Blu-Ray, often compared to the Betamax-VHS battle in the 1980s, has slowed the development of what is expected to be a multibillion dollar high-definition DVD industry.

Toshiba was dealt a blow on Friday when Wal-Mart Stores Inc said it would abandon the HD DVD format, becoming the latest in a series of top retailers and movie studios to rally behind Blu-ray technology for high definition DVDs.

Toshiba plans to continue selling HD DVD equipment at stores for the time being but will not put resources into developing new devices, NHK said.

當然也玩不下去囉...
東芝自己都不玩了
剛好讓這些電影業者自己找台階下
不過要微軟衷心支持BD,
恐怕難過阿婆生子.....
