Not sure if you guys here have hashed this many times before, but the latest news makes the subject worthy of a farewell bid to HD-DVD.
Warner Brothers announced that they were going BluRay exclusively in the first week of January. Universal and Paramount were expected to follow suit immediately. Best Buy announced that it is recommending ONLY BluRay, but still stocks the HD-DVD equipment and discs. Netflix has now ditched HD-DVD entirely. Walmart is now exclusively BluRay.
As of Tuesday, Feb 19, 2008:
Toshiba told The Wall Street Journal this morning that it would cease production of its HD DVD players and recorders immediately and close out the business by the end of March.
I'm still a fan of future cable/satellite companies with multi-terabyte DVR's and on-demand high def content, though.
