Nice going guys. My only solace is that if they market these as badly as they did hd-dvd no one will ever know about them.
That's what I said, lol.

But regarding whether they are going to adopt Blu-Ray... Well, Microsoft stated on 1/8 that "The war is not over until Toshiba goes out of business." That is a pretty damn strong statement. Toshiba may very well take the shotgun approach - keep A3/A30/A35 in production, release combo players, super upconverters SD2HD, etc, anything they can to get the customer to not buy BD.
