Toshiba dropping HD DVD?

I dont think this wil happen , its far too soon.

It does seem too soon but... you never know.

I love Toshibas players and don't think they did enough to keep the format going. However, I cannot blame them for throwing in the towel when they are losing money on every player and it doesn't seem any change is in sight. I will continue to enjoy my xbox add on and HD-A30 with the discs I have and the ones that will be online cheap soon. It would have been nice if the movie studios had chosen the underdog who had its sh** together from the start but what can you do. Sudios are greedy.

this has to be the most low class report i have seen yet. I don't care how reliable the source is. If toshiba is dropping hd, i want to hear it from toshiba! I don't want to read a report they dropping hd and then read further that toshiba denies it. it's crap.

I truly hope you are right Indian. I will keep supporting them until they throw the towel in. Cannot wait to get Beowulf and will buy Bee movie as well.

It's possible Toshiba will start selling blu-ray players soon:

If this is true, then again, my petition about Toshiba producing a dual player now makes sense. I would love for them to do this, and this would show that they respect all the HD DVD supporters.
Hey DJ, where you at dude, I think you were the one who said you had a buddy in California who said that they are developing a dual player?

I don't believe it until it comes from Toshiba. Didn't we just have an article a few days ago that Universal was going dual? What happened with that? Nothing.

It sounds like another spin from the Blu camp to discourage people from buying into the format and nothing more. Toshiba has no doubt heard about CH DVD, and if it really is compatible that's millions of new customers.

Fixed that for you.

Hood I am only going by what the 2 articles said. They sound really reliable to me. In the article the VP of Toshiba said that something is brewing but not for another 2 weeks. So, I am just trying to keep upbeat if it happens. Let's just hope that if it does, Toshiba makes a dual player and not just a Blu stand alone player.
