All around the web people have been pronouncing HD DVD dead. The past week I’ve seen it on dozens of sites, however, it really hasn’t been official. Until now. Toshiba finally issued a press release announcing the discontinuation of HD DVD business.
I really hoped that HD DVD would pull through, as their pricing was far superior than the competition. Alas, it really came down to the motion picture studios. In the release from Toshiba, they mentioned that they’ll “reduce shipments of HD DVD players and recorders to retail channels, aiming for cessation of these businesses by the end of March 2008.”
You can envision that glasses are being raised over at the Blu-ray camp as we speak.
