Toshiba applies to join Blu-ray Disc Association

article published on 10 August, 2009

It was only a matter of time before they would give in and join. However i do feel their pain they did invest quite a bit in the HD DVD format only to be beaten by Sony and the blu-ray format. But its good to have them on board and maybe now they can start making up for the major financial losses that they had to deal with back then.

Welcome Toshiba. :D

HAHA i'm not gonna lie but this definitely puts a grin on my face! Finally they take notice of the superiority of the Blu-ray and make the switch. It's refreshing to see The porn industry lose at something. I'm actually surprised they didn't hire microsoft to steal the idea off sony, patent the product, then sell them the rights to use it. PORNFAIL!
