Blu Tide Continues to Turn: Porn Studios Ready to Abandon HD-DVD?

[L.J.]

I actually saw a commercial last night from Toshiba pimping it's HD-DVD as the next new format. It was an actual Toshiba commercial. That just seems wrong.

There's gonna be a HD DVD commercial during the superbowl as well. I guess Toshiba is hoping to reel in a few people who don't know any better. I hope these people are smart enough to do a little research.

There are many people who do not do research. Just look at how well Bose does.

I guess that's another $3 million that Toshiba can add to its HD-DVD funeral pyre (either that or they figure it's cheaper to try selling all those unsold HD-DVD players than letting them get tossed into the landfill). At the very least, if they'd burned 3 million greenbacks, they might get a nice sized bonfire out of it! As it is, they're just stacking up another seven-figure charge onto their already sizable HD-DVD losses.

Chump change to a company the size of tosh.
Theres a lot of money in selling poorly designed unreliable junk.

STUFF LIKE THIS is planned months in advance, they probably took a bath if they cancel so why not go with it? Might sell a few more doorstops-excuse me, players, and as long as they do not concede defeat they have to keep up appearances.
REMEMBER they havent offically caved yet.
Probably still trying to figure out how to do that and save the maximum number of fingers and toes.
Not to mention how to pay all of those golden parachutes to all of those execs they will have to fire
