While the CES has had little to offer the gaming community so far, other morsels of news have been dropping lately and I’m here to give you some of the choicest cuts.
For those few that are under a rock you should know Warner announced Friday they were going Blu-ray exclusive and bringing their little dog New Line along with them too. In response the HD-DVD consortium canceled/postponed their CES conference, most likely stuck in a “WTF!” moment.
The details are here in this Variety article. The internet speculation is already running rampant with rumors of Toshiba closing up HD-DVD shop and letting Paramount out of their exclusive deal. As crazy as this format war has been nothing would surprise at this point. Putting fanboy ties aside those that actually want HD Media to succeed can at least finally let out a sigh of relief as this format battle seems to be coming to a close. And those sitting on the fence can actually jump in now.
