The Triumphs and Tribulations of Wiz

As most people interested in technology know, there has been a format war, HD DVD vs Blu Ray. Until this far, the war has been fairly evenly spread. Each format is offers relatively the same quality and until now the number of titles on each format has been roughly equal.

But last week, Warner Brothers announced that they would be exclusively backing Blu Ray. So this now means that the majority of films are on blu ray disk and so many are now predicting that the death of HD-DVD is begining.

This is not helped by speculation on the internet that Paramount is about to jump ship to Blu Ray and with these recent developments, it has prompted the head of xbox hardware to say at CES that Microsoft would support a Blu Ray drive if the market wanted it and HD DVD failed.
