It appears Toshiba, one of the last HD-DVD holdouts, is throwing in the towel. I'm still not going to pull that particular trigger, mostly because the players are still pricey and, except for the PS-3, don't even support the latest Blu-Ray standard. It is nice to know things seem to finally be sorted out.

And it's not really bad news for HD-DVD owners. Prices for existing titles should drop nicely, and it may be quite some time before studios stop releasing things in that format. By which time Blu-Ray may be down in price and ready to become your next upgrade!
