Well, I guess Sony won. Toshiba has thrown in the towel and Blu-Ray will reign as the champion of disc-based video for the next 10 years or so, until the next Ultra Hi-Def Super Duper Audio & Video Format comes along.
I’m not surprised by this turn of events. Remember, this is why I bought a PS3 recently. And from a general consumer perspective, this is a good thing. Now people can start investing in one format, and let loose on the HD movie offerings.
Still, it sucks (ok, it fucking blows) that Sony won. I mean, they’re still changing the format and older players (except the PS3) are going to be limited in what they can do with Blu-Ray discs. But somehow, this is the format that you all decided to support. What can I say?
