THE BATTLE IS OVER!!!!

In this edition of the DVD Weekly Podcast we say goodbye to the HD DVD format. The end is officially here.

We also take a look at the Daytona 500 through the eyes of a fan (Jarrod at the track) and a not-so-fan (Mark In Memphis!). And don't forget about next Tuesday's DVD releases!

Thanks again to Susan who not only stepped in to help us out this week on Jarrod's absence....but did it on our 9th wedding anniversary. What a tropper!

Enjoy the show!

The End Of The HD DVD Story

BREAKING NEWS

It appears that the story below has come to pass a little faster than anyone expected. Today, Toshiba announced it would no longer develop, make or market the HD DVD format.

"We concluded that a swift decision would be best," Toshiba President Atsutoshi Nishida told reporters at the company's Tokyo offices.

The company did say that they still believed in the format and that they would continue to provide product support for the 1 million people who bought their HD DVD machines.

Goodbye HD DVD. It's been fun.

Another HD-DVD Blow

ANOTHER HD DVD BLOW

Just a few hours ago, the Associated Press announced that there is a good possibility that Toshiba is about to throw in the towel on the HD DVD format.

Toshiba Corp. said today that no final decision had made but acknowledged it had started a review of its HD DVD strategy. The comments follow a weekend filled with Japanese media reports that the company was close to callling it quits on the format.

While this may be bad news for the 1 million people who own HD DVD format machines, it is good news for the industry as a whole. Shedding a format will make the HD market more appealing and less confusing for consumers.

Word of the possible HD DVD drop from Toshiba sent the companies stock rising 5.7 percent as analysts and investors viewed the likely decision as lessening the potential damage the format would have brought to the company.
