Re: Toshiba deploys new HD-DVD marketing initiatives... No white towel yet!


I just can't get excited about a gamer format for movies that did not really win in a movie buff competitive market. Sewing up source suppliers with big $ just does not do anything for me. Sony is not one of my favorite companies -- rootkits, etc. And Sony is BD, IMHO.

I truly believe that solid state flash as in 32GB SD HC cards (possibly loaded in a convenient store kiosk) is the real future for high definition movie distribution anyway, with the result being on multiple terabyte hard disc drives or FIOS internet for playback. Just wait for two or three years. Flimsy spinning optical will be on its way out.

Just my opinion for what it is worth.
