Sleeping (Movie Watching?) With The Enemy: Toshiba to produce Blu-Ray decks?
July 18, 2009 by Derek
Experiencing the Saturday doldrums? How about this news: Toshiba is joining with the enemy.
You heard it here: Japan’s Yomiuri is reporting today that Toshiba is expected to finally join the evil world of Blu-ray later this year, perhaps November. The company that battled for HD-DVD is giving in and going to the “dark side”.
For their part, we’ve heard both confirmations and strong denials about the company finally giving in and supporting the format it once battled so strongly, resorting to all sorts of things to smear it, but this seems to come from a source pretty high up that it will happen.
Their first DVD/Blu-ray unit is on for release somewhere in the world by the year’s end. The war is officially over, and now even the strongest supporter of HD-DVD is waving the white flag.
