Toshiba announced yesterday that it will cease to develop and manufacture HD DVD players. This is the final nail in HD DVD’s coffin. As we suspected, Blu-ray will be crowned king of the next-gen HD disc formats.

Quick, rush to the store to buy a Blu-ray player!

In case you missed it last week. The Hollywood writers strike is finally over!

Here are a few quotes from the official WGA announcement:

“On Tuesday, members of the Writers Guilds East and West voted by a 92.5% margin to lift the restraining order that was invoked on November 5th. The strike is over.”

“Writing can resume immediately. If you were employed when the strike began, you should plan to report to work on Wednesday.”

“…with the establishment of the WGA jurisdiction over new media and residual formulas based on distributor’s gross revenue (among other gains) we are confident that the results are a significant achievement not only for ourselves but the entire creative community, now and in the future.”

You can read the full WGA announcement over at Deadline Hollywood Daily.

Looks like the format war is finally over.

Warner Bros. announced recently that it would drop support for HD DVD and only release on Blu-ray and regular DVD starting in May.

I’m glad I waited before purchasing a next-gen HD player. Blu-ray’s specs are much more suited to high quality video in my opinion.

Apple Insider has some more details on this big decision.
