Toshiba pulled out of the High Definition format war after suffering several blows in the past weeks that started with Warner Brothers in January switching from a neutral stance to Blu-ray (BD) exclusive, then on Monday Netflix said they will only be carrying BD, and Best Buy said that they would recommend BD to customers, and the final blow came Friday from the largest retailer chain in the world Walmart said that they will no longer be selling HD-DVD players in June. I am not a big fan of the company, but they do have a lot of pull, and when they say they are not going to sell something, then you should know that it is all over. Well, I won't miss the format as you know, but what are you doing, go out and buy a PS3 or stand alone BD player now. Target has a 40GB PS3 for $399 with a free $40.00 gift card.
