It appears Toshiba are close to admitting they have lost the high definition format war. This is a good thing (not just because I have a blu-ray Trojan horse PS3) because now consumers can stop worrying about which format to choose and we can begin high deffing everything. If we are lucky this will lead to greater public pressure for HD freeview as the joys of high def become more well known.
Although it is sad for Toshiba I hope that the industry learns as it did with VHS and BETAMAX that there will be a loser who will have wasted a lot of cash when there are rival formats. Maybe with next technological leap which will be super HD or even 3D the tech companies will work together for a common format. Hopefully this will prevent a load of consumers who are stuck with a losing technology…
…and a load of smug nerds who picked the winning one.
