HD DVD has now officially died
Reuters has reported that Toshiba Corp is planning to stop and production and research-and-development of HD-DVD technology according to Japan’s NHK.
Following the latest kick in the pants for the HD-DVD camp when on Friday (15th Feb) Americas Wal-Mart Stores Inc said it would abandon the HD DVD format, becoming the latest in a series of top retailers (Netflix, Best Buy) and movie studios to rally behind Blu-ray technology for high definition DVDs.
Toshiba currently selling HD DVD equipment at stores for the time being but will not put resources into developing new devices, NHK said.
