We're not sure how to take this. Just as
Blu-ray launches, with its own
HD DVD players having already been on store shelves for some time,
now Toshiba wants to hold out the olive branch again. Even as Blu-ray struggles with underwhelming launch titles and delays, they still hold the trump card of higher capacity, possibly higher burning speed, and more movie studio support. Maybe Toshiba sees this as the best time to cut a deal, maybe not. We already have reports that they are
spending a lot of money to make sure HD DVD gains acceptance, but what is the long term strategy?
