Toshiba says HD DVD has not lost out to Blu-ray

Toshiba Corp said on Sunday its HD DVD high-definition video format is not dead despite being dealt a big setback by Warner Bros studio's decision to exclusively back Sony Corp's rival Blu-ray technology.

Of course that is what Toshiba is attempting to say during CES! The announcement last week was a heavy blow to Toshiba -- in fact, every CES attendee received an official CES bag that featured a "Toshiba HD DVD" logo on them!

I think Toshiba is in trouble, regardless of what PR spin they try to put on it.

it won't be long for the remaining HD DVD supports to dual format support, or even change camp, all I can say is: hurray. As an end user there's nothing more wasteful then having invested into a dead technology
