And the word is out… HD-DVD Blu-Ray

It’s not even a week since I wrote stuff here and here I am writing another while HD-DVD is on its death bed. The word is out Warner Bros the last of the studio to support both formats has decided to go Blu-Ray exclusive which means New Line Cinema (part of Warner) is also dropping HD-DVD. This news comes as a blow to HD-DVD camp and has decided to cancel the CES Conference. Cancelling the conference? Obvious isn’t it. The only question everyone is going to ask is what’s the fate of HD-DVD? What will happen to the consumers who have already purchased HD-DVD merchandise? Poor fellows @ HD-DVD camp they are yet to figure out the next step and they are in no position to answer such questions. So I think what they did is pretty much what any company would do.

Here is what I think HD-DVD will probably try.

HD-DVD camp would hire Gerald Butler to say “THIS IS HD-DVD” AND TONIGHT WE DI(n)E IN HELL!! (Like the 300 Spartans)

Ha Ha Very Funny!!!

On a serious note… these are some of my thoughts on how Toshiba can win their customer’s heart or NOT!!!

1. Do an upgrade to their players which are already in consumer’s hand to play Blu-Ray titles but that would mean it has to play both HD-DVD & Blu-Ray.

2. Change their HD-DVD Format to be similar to Blu-Ray so HD-DVD titles can be played in Blu-Ray player. This would mean HD-DVD will prevail

3. Completely stop making HD-DVD players and start making Blu-Ray player and allow trading in HD-DVD Players + a small price

4. Or come up with something completely revolutionary bringing second thoughts to studios supporting Blu-Ray

5. Toshiba will completely stop HD-DVD and show a big finger to consumers and they would probably not support Blu-Ray in its entirety

Well points 1-3 are coined thinking Toshiba as a Good Samaritan and 4,5 as just a company.

I am not a big analyst and I am not getting paid for my thoughts here. It is just my 2 cents.

We just have to wait and see what Toshiba does!!

Go Blu!!!
