R.I.P HD DVD - the battle is over

....and blue ray came out on top.  Toshiba announced yesterday it will discontinue HD DVD production. while I'm sad for Toshiba and HD DVD supporters..Im kinda happy this battle is over. I had been holding off buying a new dvd player because of the battle between the two formats but was willing to hold off on to it settle down. Like others I also saw this coming. mos recently Warner Bros made the decision to back Blu-ray and then Wal-mart (the largest U.S retailer) also picked Blu-ray over HD DVD last week.  and it was game over...speaking of games and which I'm not that much into (but I will be getting a PSP3 now) I feel like one of the main advantages Blu-ray had in this battle was the PSP3 which plays blue ray discs...already in homes as a game console it doubled as a dvd player as well... I guess now I'll be adding a PS3 to my entertainment setup...
