HD4ME, "Of course Xym you wouldn't do what Toshiba is doing, because you are a one eyed fan boy who wants the death of HD DVD." - Perhaps your reading comprehension is lacking. I said, "If I were Toshiba", as in "If I were in Toshiba's shoes with all their concerns, issues, financial stakes etc.".
The simple fact is that companies NEVER tell you when they're about to dump or usurp a device. You just have to read their intentions from what they're doing. Firesales of players should be a major clue that the format is dead.
"And there in lies the fundamental difference between red and blu supporters, sure I want my side to win and i wont support blu, but i couldn't care less if blu ray died or not, as long as my choice is viable, good luck with yours, HD DVD is about consumer choice, blu ray is about forcing the product onto consumers no matter what the cost."
Yes, for as we all know, squads of armed goons are rounding up citizens and forcing them to buy blu ray players at gunpoint. Idiot.
It's funny you bleat that its "about choice" and then whine that every single sales chart shows consumers are exercising their choice overwhelmingly for blu ray.
