| 641063 | 2008-02-19 23:29:00 | Well the shares went up only coz shareholders realise Toshiba will be more streamlined by cutting away HD DVD costs. It no doubt will have a significant hit on the revenue for below cost HD DVD players after Time Warners announcement. Long term Toshiba would be much better revenue wise if HD DVD had survived They only killed it to avoid more substantial losses. Just as well i didn't buy a Toshiba Laptop last year with a HD DVD. Thats the only good thing coming out of thus dumb war for me. Dumb war= competition,best to realise this is needed at all times to sort wheat from chaff. |

| 641068 | 2008-02-20 02:44:00 | Tell me - will there ever be a winner to the Xbox 360 vs PS3 war (just for example) Sure, there MAY be a winner than isn't obvious...ie it will never turn out like HD-DVD vs BluRay where obviously BluRay as won, and in two years we won't see any HD-DVDs. |

Also I would say that both companies are going to be around for some years to come. As for the HD DVD vs Blu Ray it will probably end up being moot as online video takes off. Tell me - will there ever be a winner to the Xbox 360 vs PS3 war (just for example) That would be the Wii which is outselling both the Xbox and the PS3 |
