The Triumphs and Tribulations of Wiz

Today, Toshiba, one of the main proponents of the HD DVD camp held a press conference. In this they announce that they were discontinuing the production of HD DVD drives for computers and stand alone drives. This then means that the survivor of the war is Sony's Blu-Ray disc. There have been reportedly around 1.3 million HD DVD drives sold in the world which are now rendered useless. As well as this announcement, there are also strong rumours that Paramount and Universal will go exclusively Blu-Ray.
Finally, we can all go out and buy HD media knowing that what we buy will not be obselete in a few months.
