In Reply to: that's because that format, just like DVD Audio, is dead. You lost twice. posted by Duilawyer on January 16, 2008 at 07:05:47:
I read the source of the information; it was less than a day old when posted. Are you sure that you're not looking at something else?
While I rarely agree with ZS KEKL (his format cheer-leading posts are the flip side of Jazz Inmate, AFAIC), the decision of Toshiba to slash prices by 50% and use cheap players to compete with SONY's high priced Blu-ray format across the board IS genuine up-to-date NEWS. One thing this does is force Blu-ray manufacturers to slash their prices in response or risk remaining mired in lagging sales as consumers opt for less expensive upscaling players and a selection of HD-DVD movies that currently still rivals Blu-ray.
