Blu-ray Wins

After what was seemingly like a VHS vs Betamax type war, it appears Blu-ray has emerged as the winner of the next generation DVD formats.  Toshiba has announced that it will be discontinuing it's HD-DVD business.  As the creators of HD-DVD it means that the format is now dead. 

As long as you haven't started a HD-DVD collection, this is a good start for consumers.  Now you only have one format to worry about instead of two standards trying to fight each other.  Unfortunately none of this would have occurred if the big companies would talk to each other and co-develop the standards instead of being completely profit driven.
