Blu-ray vs HD DVD... looks like the war is over
 

Wal-Mart is the latest retailer to ditch HD DVD & go Blu-ray only.

And, following on from that, plus the previous huge blow of Warner ditching HD DVD to go Blu-ray exclusive, it now seems that Toshiba is ready to throw in the towel altogether...

Oh well, £130 wasted then, anyone with an Xbox 360 want a HD DVD drive?

I blame Sony and their evil PS3!

cant find a link, but didnt microsoft say they would launch a blu-ray disk for the xbox if its the one that wins out?

I think they did yeah, I saw it on Eurogamer somewhere, they said they were 'keeping their options open' or something to that effect. Emailed the BBC about it this morning and they want to interview me now!

looks like this mess is finally over.

Re: Blu-ray vs HD DVD... looks like the war is over
 

If the HD DVD format does dissapear there is no reason to get rid of your players and discs. They will still work!

Re: Blu-ray vs HD DVD... looks like the war is over
 

I still think Betamax was the best format:)

MS working on Blu-ray Xbox 360 & Blu-ray attachment?

Re: Blu-ray vs HD DVD... looks like the war is over
 

Hope MS do move to a Blu-Ray attachment, would save me the pain of getting a PS3! Would like them to sort out some compensation for my HD DVD player too but I very much doubt that would happen!

Well maybe, I could play the 'I was being loyal to Microsoft' card, you never know. I'll give Nicky Campbell a ring at Watchdog, i'll be sorted! lol
