Official: HD DVD dead and buried, format war is over

Feb 19th 2008 5:12AM (Engadget HD)
Humm..

Not positive:
Atsutoshi Nishida, President and CEO of Toshiba Corporation did say that Toshiba will, "continue to assess the position of notebook PCs with integrated HD DVD drives." That's it folks, the format war is over, Blu-ray has won. Full press release after the break."

And also not postive:
Toshiba also intends to maintain collaborative relations with the companies who joined with Toshiba in working to build up the HD DVD market, including Universal Studios, Paramount Pictures, and DreamWorks Animation and major Japanese and European content providers on the entertainment side, as well as leaders in the IT industry, including Microsoft, Intel, and HP. Toshiba will study possible collaboration with these companies for future business opportunities, utilizing the many assets generated through the development of HD DVD.

Does this mean.. Universal and/or Paramount won't go Blu-ray either?!

I imported the prolouge, not satisfied. Insane graphics and nice enviroments and such, but the car selection is poor. Where is my swedish Volvo ;-) It also would been much cooler with car damage. Driving 100mph straight into a car in a corner without a scratch and just a little anoyment in steering isn't realistic. I've enjoyed GT, GT2, GT3 and GT4 all good gamesm but the Prolouge is something "just ok" to get your hands on until the final release, if there ever will be one. I sure hope so, hopefully with downloadable content, upgradeable cars, new cars, tracks and possiblites to customize everything and of course realistic car damage the ability to loose control.

I hope this is the reason why it is taking so long ;-)

Pictures, Music, DivX-videos, PSN games, PSOne games, Demos etc. but I also have tversity for upnp media streaming.

I also have a dedicated 10GB partition for linux. So the space is being well used. I have bought all games available in the PSN-store and downloaded all the demos I don't have the full version of.

I have 250gb.. about 100GB++ available.
Storage is a must have for the future.

What I meant was... stop buying HD-DVDs and make Universal and Paramount realize that the fat actually is singing. Don't give them more pity money.

There should be a thinking bubble over his head with the text
"I gonna scrape all that I can get from HD-DVD supporter until may, then I'm gonna screw them."

Ask Engadget HD: Which HD DVD player should I pick up for the holidays?
