The news of the day is that, although there has been no official word from them, Toshiba is about to abandon HD-DVD and concede to Blu-Ray. The scales had been tipping in favor of Blu-Ray for some time, with studios, retailers, and even rental houses declaring support for Blu-Ray. Toshiba's stock went up 5% based on the rumor, so I doubt there is any reason for Toshiba not to make it official.
Finally, we can end the format wars and move forward!
