Toshiba is set to announce that they are pulling out of the HD DVD business after Warner Bros and US retailers Wal-Mart, K Mart and Best Buy said that they are only going to support Blu ray. Also contributing to the decision was a move by retailers globally to support Blu ray over HD DVD.

all you blu boys are all a bunch of sheep and sony is your sheepdog,you all deserve to be rounded up and screwed by the farmer!cuz thats whats gonna happen whe b+ is introduced.
once the disc is played in your system it will be unable to play in any other,
so remember when you used to borrow off your friends and family or take your dvd round theres! no more,
It's time that we all embraced Blu-ray. I've no idea why some people will want to cling to a sinking ship, when the Blu rescue ship is more than willing to bring them on board.
You imbecile, Sony isn't Chinese, they are a Japanese company. Wow, such ignorance. Blu-Ray now has 75% of the Hollywood studios exclusively to itself. Paramount & Universal have announced no new movies for HD-DVD, its been dead silence. And sales have clearly been 70% or so all of 2007. HD-DVD is dead, give up and shut up.
I guess the people who want only one format to survive like to pay higher prices for their movies. When Cd's first came out everyone said their prices would drop after manufacturing costs went down. Well manufacturing costs did go down but prices actually went higher.
Warner wants you to buy one format so they can keep the price high for one disc instead of competing with their own selves between two different discs. So laugh now the jokes on you.
CDs are at higher Prices because of the Music Mafia (Some people still call it "Industry"). Normal blank CDs are cheap as hell, same goes for CD Drives and so on.
Although I, too, believe Bluray will win, and I want it to...it's a darn shame that Sony has exclusive rights to Bluray, and any company that uses the technology must license it from Sony. This will keep costs a bit high due to lack of competition when HD-DVD dies. ) :
I know, Its just that when I was trying to type the comment, I couldn't figure out how to spell the jitter that Porky does before he says "Thats all folks" so I resorted to Bugs.
Now all we need is Universal and the other companies will fall in line. Paramount still has a little less than 18 months on their contract so it's not likely we'll see them switch anytime soon unless the other companies fall in line to the Blu-ray camp. Well, here's to hoping it happens soon.
The only reason im happy Blu Ray has Warner and now New Line Cinema is because I have PS3 so i have no choice but Blu Ray. If i had no PS3, i would care who won. I would just want the format war to end, so there is One Format, and all the movies. I hate that some movies are HD DVD only and some are Blu Ray. Hopefully most movies will be Blu Ray now.
Don't worry, within about a year, everything that's currently on HD-DVD only will be on Blu-ray. You can bet on that. Paramount and Universal (and Warner with Batman Begins and Matrix) are too smart to miss out on all the potential profits.
Yeah, he should pick the format that's been getting its butt kicked in sales. The one that's completely losing the format war is the one he should have bought. LOL!!! Why WOULDN'T you take sales into account when trying to jump in right now?
HD DUD is s*it. Get your facts right, you don't even have any proof you have both. Believe me, blu is better, Its got better support, better picture quality, more capacity, need I go on?
Actually, HD DVD has better picture. However, Blu-Ray has superior audio quality and capacity (Even if its completely useless to have that kind of capacity for anything besides hi-def TV series').
yeah actually it did I wanted to get a Blu ray player aswell with HD DVD but if Blu ray is going to be this pathetic and cheap Im not going to get it... f*ck blu ray
so this 'character' has supposedly bought a HD-DVD player, a blu-ray player, AND a PS3? Why not just buy the PS3? THIS ADVERT MAKES NO SENSE ON ANY LEVEL.
When deciding on a format: God has a BD player because it represents water and life and the devil has a HD DUD player because it represents fire and death. You decide.
LOL I would say the same back. Who's still winning since it came out Blu. I don't see any chance HD ever gunna get a step on top of Blu. Unless they be giving 20 HD-DVD along with the Price Drop of the Players for $50 by Christmas I don't even want it for Free. TF is like the only movie I want. Blu-Ray all the way.
I've got a good idea, buy 3 HD movies and get a HD DUD player, absolutly FREE!
(Disclamer: HD player cannot do 1080p and cannot be returned under any circumstances, please ignore what Toshiba + Micro$oft say and join the blu crew).
I also heard from Mr. Bay that M$ wants both formats to flop to bring in digital distribution.
I mean, who wants a HD movie on their computer which takes hours to download, has terrible picture quality and NO lossless sound, not to mention the fact that you can trade back your movie when you're done watching it. Why did you think Apple TV flopped? Because no one could be bothered downloading movies for the big screen!
LOL...this is a sad attempt...please Sony dont try to copy Microsoft's tactics, and im just saying this because, YOU SUCK AT IT. Microsoft does it better.
The term is nerdkiller, not nerd, thats only gonna cause confusion. If sony made the vid, they might get sued for featuring a HD player made by Toshiba. Oh and another thing, blu ray is not only outselling HD DUD in the US, but in every single part of the world in which its available (US 2-1, Jpn 97% share, EU 3-1, UK 4-1) and I would rather have HD VMD than HD DUD. By march of '08, if the figures stay as they are, Toshy will have surrendered to blu ray.
Let it cause more confusion NERD....well just watched the vid again and nowhere can I see the name or brand of Toshiba on it. So, this is viral marketing by the Blu Gay camp. I wouldnt consider all those figures as facts, because...!!!WHO THE F**K ARE YOU!!!. Also, lately HD DVD is killing Blu Gay in players. We'll see that take effect this holidays.
Oh really? Then why the hell is more blockbuster movies (Pirates, Cars, Ratatouie, Simpsons movie, highly likley Hitman, Die Hard (all 4 movies), Spiderman trilogy, Independence Day and the rumors that Warner is going to dump HD DUD) and also, the only place in my town that actually sells HD DUD is the local GameStop, (which don't sell that many(they only sell 4 compared to about 50 BD's) and Ireland's equ. of Blockbuster, Xtra Vision sells BD only.
Also, we still won the Black Friday incident (72.6% share) and since the PS3 was released last year, BD hasn't lost a week since, not even Transformers could save the day for the look and sound of pointless. Just face it, HD is f*cked and there is nothing they can do about it. No matter how many people are bribed, no matter how many $100 players they have, it's the PS3 thats mauling HD and not even the 360 HD add on can scratch the BD paintwork.
Dude again, your pullig shit right out your ass. Take your blu-gay glasses off and come to reality. Percentages only hide numbers. When it comes down to HDTVs and HDplayers, HD DVD will start to rise this holidays. PS3 is not going to save the blu ray, I thought that was a gameing system in the first place. Besides isnt PS3 getting demolished vs the 360 & Wii???
Eh no, PS3 is outselling the Wii in japan and is outselling the 360 in europe, not in total numbers but in how may sales in the week. And wait...isn't HD DUD getting demolished by BD, uh, yeah. The people have spoken. Blu ray is better. It has more storage, it has a better transfer rate (hell, HD VMD has a better transfer rate than HD but less than BD and if you dont believe me, go to Wiki and type in VMD), its more scratch resisrant than HD and costs less than HD per GB.
Dude, percentages hides numbers...when was the last time I heard Sony come out with some actual numbers. NEVER. Like I said when it comes down to HDTVs and players, HD DVD will see a rise this holidays. "PS3 CANT SAVE BLU GAY"...besides I thought it was a gameing system...???
When was the last time Toshy came out with HD numbers, oh wait, NEVERRRRRRRR!!!! The PS3 is here to save Blu ray from the start. You probably just think HD is better because you bought a $99 player which doesn't do s*it for balls. Let me put it to you this way. Before the PS2 was released, DVD sales have been as low as hell. All the players were expensive and when the PS2 launched, it made DVD the standard it is in video.
That commercial is awesome go Blu-Ray!!! and yes Blu-Ray is winning against Hd-Dvd 2 to 1 but thats here in America just by itself that does not include other countries like Japan 97% support Blu as their next generation player
people don't understand that blu-ray isn't owned by Sony. It is technically owned by phillips because they have the patent. Blu-ray disc on the other hand is run by the blu-ray disc asscioation. Sony just supports blu-ray and at the same time is a major film studio so people assume blu-ray is owned by sony.
Totally stupid advert. It actually make me despise having bought a PS3. I'm going to break it in half, and go anti blu from now on. Especially as we all know BR is dead by the turn of the decade. I mean, remember Beta, sony ?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sony's Betamax was the most popular video format in 1983, in 2 years it disappeared, the same will happen to blu ray, considering only a small fraction of consumers own any high def format this 2 to 1 advantage means nothing, plus HD DVD is catching up pretty fast, HD DVD never lost any studio support, blu ray did, the PS3 is a failure in the video game market forcing Sony to downgrade it just to make it worth buying, I'd rather buy the HD DVD add on for the Xbox 360.
What are these certain movies? Blu-ray disc player (like my PS3) can play any DVD movie and Blu-ray movies. Blu-ray has more space, scratch resistant coating (rent a movie, watch the hell out of it, but return it in mint condition), more exclusive titles, and doesn't need to bribe companies with $50 million like Paramount to change sides. Speilberg refuses to have his movies released on HD DVD. I wonder why?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That's fantastic.
If the battle was so over, they wouldn't need to spend marketing on BS like this in which they attack their opponent.
Furthermore, a 51GB HD-DVD standard has just been approved and guess which one of the Blu Ray supporters crossed the line to sign off on it (unlike the hardware manufacturers)?
For those who don't know, blu ray is selling better than hd dvd. It's not like it's a war or anything. The newer format will win... The an even newer one will. I have a PS3 and I use dvds more than anything else. I'll start buying my movies on blu ray when I feel like it. I happy that sony went with blu ray the way they went with dvd on the ps2. It's agreat format that allows tons of space, and now we can see this space put to good use(UNCHARTED).
This hating of either sides needs to stop. They should just produce for both. Damn BD people want to protect their overpriced investment by creating media to slam the other side. I would like to see someone tell the difference from a side by side comparison of one film by the two formats. I am not biased toward any side, but this war is just ridiculous.
he he he, thts exactly wht i should of used my hddvd for, why did i burn it then put it in a paper bag with poo, set it on fire and leave it on toshibas door-step, why?, sry toshiba i love your tvs
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Excellent video! It won't be a comedy in a year thought when all the HD-DVD players are obsolete...
So Paramount and dreamworks left a sinking ship??? A sinking ship that outsells HD-DVD 9-1 in Japan, 4-1 in Europe & 2-1 in the USA. $150,000,000 can make you do funny things
Please, you're a gamer. Enjoy your games. When the next new game system comes out, gamers will forget all about their Blu Ray PS3 and move on. That's the video game life cycle and it will cripple that movie format. Grown men with home theater system aren't supporting the PS3, they are supporting the superior home movie system, which is HD DVD. Ful featured, out of the box.
Maybe someday when you get facial hair, you will understand.
What a joke. Buy a Blu Ray player for twice the price of an HD DVD player and get half the features...yeah, ok. I can't believe how people are. Remember, Paramount and Dreamworks jumped from the sinking Blu ship. I suggest others do the same.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LMAO Blu-Ray is better, but not $300 better. When it's cheap enough, if it's still around, I'll go format neutral. Until then there are scads of HDDVD movies waiting in my Netflix.
The picture may be close but the audio isn't. Blu-ray has over 3 times the number of titles available with lossless audio. And DRM may not be a bad thing... Blu-ray gained 20th Century Fox's exclusive support because of the advanced copy protection features offered over HD-DVD.
Hmm, lets see... So far, Fox has released the Die Hard movies, 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, The Day After Tomorrow, Prison Break Season 1, Edward Scissorhands, and The Fly just to name a few. Oh yeah, and they hold the rights to the Star Wars movies.
Granted, Paramount does have some movies that I want on Blu-ray (and probably will have in a year or so), but compare the releases for both studios for Q4 this year. Fox wins hands down both in quantity and quality.

When it comes down to HDTVs and HDplayers, HD DVD will start to rise this holidays. PS3 is not going to save the blu ray, I thought that was a gameing system in the first place. Besides isnt PS3 getting demolished vs the 360 & Wii???
KiNgToNgAIII 4 years ago
Eh no, PS3 is outselling the Wii in japan and is outselling the 360 in europe, not in total numbers but in how may sales in the week. And wait...isn't HD DUD getting demolished by BD, uh, yeah. The people have spoken. Blu ray is better. It has more storage, it has a better transfer rate (hell, HD VMD has a better transfer rate than HD but less than BD and if you dont believe me, go to Wiki and type in VMD), its more scratch resisrant than HD and costs less than HD per GB.

LOL HD didn't rise to anything except a morning news blurb about WB going BD. You can either eat that crow, or shove it up your ass.

Dude, percentages hides numbers...when was the last time I heard Sony come out with some actual numbers. NEVER. Like I said when it comes down to HDTVs and players, HD DVD will see a rise this holidays. "PS3 CANT SAVE BLU GAY"...besides I thought it was a gameing system...???
KiNgToNgAIII 4 years ago
When was the last time Toshy came out with HD numbers, oh wait, NEVERRRRRRRR!!!! The PS3 is here to save Blu ray from the start. You probably just think HD is better because you bought a $99 player which doesn't do s*it for balls. Let me put it to you this way. Before the PS2 was released, DVD sales have been as low as hell. All the players were expensive and when the PS2 launched, it made DVD the standard it is in video.

yes we will see now that ps3 is 399 prick

people don't understand that blu-ray isn't owned by Sony. It is technically owned by phillips because they have the patent. Blu-ray disc on the other hand is run by the blu-ray disc asscioation. Sony just supports blu-ray and at the same time is a major film studio so people assume blu-ray is owned by sony.

Totally stupid advert. It actually make me despise having bought a PS3. I'm going to break it in half, and go anti blu from now on. Especially as we all know BR is dead by the turn of the decade. I mean, remember Beta, sony ?

Sony's Betamax was the most popular video format in 1983, in 2 years it disappeared, the same will happen to blu ray, considering only a small fraction of consumers own any high def format this 2 to 1 advantage means nothing, plus HD DVD is catching up pretty fast, HD DVD never lost any studio support, blu ray did, the PS3 is a failure in the video game market forcing Sony to downgrade it just to make it worth buying, I'd rather buy the HD DVD add on for the Xbox 360.

Beta was never popular and the rumors that WB will go BD exclusive is all the more sweeter.

This is a bunch on Blu Sh*t?
Blu Ray is all promotion while HD DVD has all the performance.
How many of you reading this bought a Blu Ray Player and are STILL unable to play certain movies on it!?
HD DVD's specs are truly complete while Blu Ray is still catching up.
Oh. And don't get me started on the so called exclusive titles. I own many of them on HD DVD.
Keep listening to the hype!
Then they wonder why Paramount and Dreamworks dumped their candy asses.
CPRsClubhouse 4 years ago
What are these certain movies? Blu-ray disc player (like my PS3) can play any DVD movie and Blu-ray movies. Blu-ray has more space, scratch resistant coating (rent a movie, watch the hell out of it, but return it in mint condition), more exclusive titles, and doesn't need to bribe companies with $50 million like Paramount to change sides. Speilberg refuses to have his movies released on HD DVD. I wonder why?
Disney is a huge Blu-ray supporter.

That's fantastic.
If the battle was so over, they wouldn't need to spend marketing on BS like this in which they attack their opponent.
Furthermore, a 51GB HD-DVD standard has just been approved and guess which one of the Blu Ray supporters crossed the line to sign off on it (unlike the hardware manufacturers)?
The answer: Disney.

Blow-Ray needs the scratch coating because they have to press the data so close to the surface, unlike HD-DVD that presses it deeper into the disk.

For those who don't know, blu ray is selling better than hd dvd. It's not like it's a war or anything. The newer format will win... The an even newer one will. I have a PS3 and I use dvds more than anything else. I'll start buying my movies on blu ray when I feel like it. I happy that sony went with blu ray the way they went with dvd on the ps2. It's agreat format that allows tons of space, and now we can see this space put to good use(UNCHARTED).

This hating of either sides needs to stop. They should just produce for both. Damn BD people want to protect their overpriced investment by creating media to slam the other side. I would like to see someone tell the difference from a side by side comparison of one film by the two formats. I am not biased toward any side, but this war is just ridiculous.

Excellent video! It won't be a comedy in a year thought when all the HD-DVD players are obsolete...
So Paramount and dreamworks left a sinking ship??? A sinking ship that outsells HD-DVD 9-1 in Japan, 4-1 in Europe & 2-1 in the USA. $150,000,000 can make you do funny things
revileandy 4 years ago
Please, you're a gamer. Enjoy your games. When the next new game system comes out, gamers will forget all about their Blu Ray PS3 and move on. That's the video game life cycle and it will cripple that movie format. Grown men with home theater system aren't supporting the PS3, they are supporting the superior home movie system, which is HD DVD. Ful featured, out of the box.
Maybe someday when you get facial hair, you will understand.

What a joke. Buy a Blu Ray player for twice the price of an HD DVD player and get half the features...yeah, ok. I can't believe how people are. Remember, Paramount and Dreamworks jumped from the sinking Blu ship. I suggest others do the same.

LMAO Blu-Ray is better, but not $300 better. When it's cheap enough, if it's still around, I'll go format neutral. Until then there are scads of HDDVD movies waiting in my Netflix.

Deardeath 4 years ago
The picture may be close but the audio isn't. Blu-ray has over 3 times the number of titles available with lossless audio. And DRM may not be a bad thing... Blu-ray gained 20th Century Fox's exclusive support because of the advanced copy protection features offered over HD-DVD.
ragegamer2005 4 years ago 2
and Blu Ray lost Dreamworks and Paramount. Count out how many titles Fox has released...do you really consider their support worthwhile?
Emannikcufesin 4 years ago
Hmm, lets see... So far, Fox has released the Die Hard movies, 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, The Day After Tomorrow, Prison Break Season 1, Edward Scissorhands, and The Fly just to name a few. Oh yeah, and they hold the rights to the Star Wars movies.
Granted, Paramount does have some movies that I want on Blu-ray (and probably will have in a year or so), but compare the releases for both studios for Q4 this year. Fox wins hands down both in quantity and quality.

Actually Lucas probably has the power to put Star Wars on whatever format he chooses.
