Nearly over

There was no real post since ages so here is a new one. According to Reuters Toshiba will pull the plug on HD-DVD very soon. Since January HD-DVD got one hard punch after another. First Warner Bros. decided to defect and this week Netflix and Wal-Mart switched to Blu-Ray only. If the Reuters news is correct a official statement should come soon from Toshiba, so maybe even already on Monday. So there should be only one more HD format war post here when Toshiba is saying that they give up. For the console market it is very likely that this will give the PS3 even more momentum as a Blu-Ray player that can be upgraded with new firmware updates and when the people finally can switch to High-Def without thinking if the format will win or not.
