I cant believe this whole war was even started. Sony made both formats and stuck to Blu-ray because it was better for the profit and consumer

Maybe you will... Nobody else really cared as much as you :P
Personally I could have cared less if HD-DVD won... I'd just go out and buy a player after a year or so once it settled in... No biggie for me.

Nope just you, told you so way back when.
I must say though it is too bad that Toshiba is throwing the towel in so soon, if that is what they are doing. If this is true then BD will not drop in price much more for a while so I hope that HD hangs in there. It is nice to see that corporate america is backing the better format at least we are going foreward.

This latest statement could simply be a way to stall before the decision to drop the failing format is officially made, but for now HD DVD fans still have some hope.
We will just have to sit and wait for the outcome of this.
