In about 2 hours it is expected the Toshiba is going to throw in the towel. They are going to cease HD-DVD hardware production immediately and be sold out by the end of March. More details to come.

The sceond season of ST Remastered has been cancelled not simply delayed, apparaently Toshiba was financing the remastering to disc. My guess is that Paramount will soon announce a BD release.

Now who is the big winner here, obviously LG as sales of their Combos should accelerate. What should if anything be done relative to people who have been purchasing HD Discs IF anything. Offer them some sort of trade allowance? Since the decision on this was taken out of the hands of the consumer, and instead determined by resellers, it would seem to be good PR for the parties involved, resellers and Studios alike would get their heads together and come up with a viable plan. But we will have to wait and see.

Personally, I will be purchasing a Combo Deck AND a Combo Drive (for computer), my sympathies to those that have invested heavily in HD, I only have 4 titles.<whew>.

And your point is, what exactly. I have been following the developments in this for the  several weeks, I have my spies and i knew about Toshiba's plans for quite some time. So what. If you think  I report everything I know when I know it...guess again Opus.

Wow, what the the hell? Relax. You said in 2 hours at 9:43pm. It's been everywhere since this morning.(Actually months) I didn't accuse or make any assumptions about anything. Jumping on me for no reason now makes me think maybe you feel guilty for some reason. Best thing you could do is NEVER talk to me like that again. I did nothing to provoke you or anyone else. Updating a post WITH links so people could read them is reason for YOU to jump on me?
I expect a full apology immediately.

OMG you red arrowed me for my post? Are you kidding me? For useful links with accurate information and you freak out? Wow. I'm speechless .

I am sorry, I could be wrong, but are you making a threat Opus, because that is how it sounded to me?

Skip... a word of warning... all those Combo drives / players have been nothing but problematic on both formats. I would avoid them like the plague. Also, if you have not jumped in head first at this point, there is no real need to get a combo drive / player as all previously released HD DVD exclusives will surely find their way to the blu-ray disc format.

Will DVD Profiler keep supporting HD-DVD profiles if no more titles will be released?

You are correct. Top 4 all discuss this.

It hasn't been official but it's been known for the past several days, starting when Netflix, Best Buy, then finally Wal Mart announced that it was dropping HD-DVD.
