I don't think even the over-intubating staff of ER could help Red now.

Toshiba pulling the plug on HD DVD already? - Yup it's over. - Engadget

And the war is lost.

Good news, I have been hoping Sony would come out on top.

Now we just have to hope that Blu Ray will really take off. It won't matter if HD DVD lost first if Blu Ray goes under later this year too. This seems unlikely though.



Congratulations, Sony.

Yeah, now it's Blu Ray vs. DVD. I also hope it takes off, so that we'll eventually have cheaper media and burners.

 

[The Actual]

Yeah, that is a good way to put it.


Hm, time to send an email to everyone in my address book extolling the virtues of Blu Ray.... I'm only half kidding of course

 

[Kirosia]

There's nobody in my address book.
