Paramount ditches HD DVD?
Either way, a lot of it has to do with Warner's move, which is a double blow to Toshiba. More companies could follow, if Toshiba doesn't do something to restore faith in their format. If HD DVD was looking promising last year, 2008 has opened up with it looking rather dismal. Simplicity aside, it would be a shame to see only a single format come to dominate high-capacity opticals.

Personally I do hope that the format war ends and soon. The market cannot support two high def formats and having such has eaten away at consumer confidence of either. At this point it becomes a matter of commitment. Would I invest heavily in either format at this point? No. I remember far too well the Beta and VHS war. I wouldn't want to flush some serious coin down the crapper should one format win over the other. Besides, with one format then the consumer can have access to all movies and not just those exclusive to that one technology and loose out on others which are not in the same format. |
