Death of HD-DVD.Is Blu-Ray to follow?


Its official the format war that was going on between TOSHIBA and SONY for their brands HD-DVD and Blu-Ray respectively has ended with long expected result.

For my part the day microsoft announced its support for HD-DVD it was sure to be doomed.
With Bly-Ray offering 50gb of storage HD-DVD was no match for it. Wall mart has already declared that it wont deal with HD-DVD stuff anymore.So it can be safely assumed that the format war is finally ended for good.

Though sony has a reason to rejoice there is still only one question.

Is Blu-Ray going to survive long enough to justify all this?

With most of us relying on hosts like rapidshare to store our BIG files that can be downloaded any time if the need be Sony will have to come up with something stronger to compete with downloaders.
Coming years with advent of broadband will decide the future of today's CLEAR WINNER.
