Blu-ray Wins Toshiba Announces Discontinuation of HD DVD

Tuesday, February 19, 2008—Toshiba America Consumer Products, L.L.C. (“Toshiba”) announced today that it has completed a thorough review of its overall strategy for HD DVD and, as a result of recent market developments, has decided to discontinue sales and marketing of HD DVD players. Accordingly, Toshiba will begin to cease shipments of its HD DVD products to retail channels.

THE next-generation DVD war is over

 Blu-ray, the format overwhelmingly backed by Australian early adopters, has won. For consumers, the high-definition DVD war was brief: the Toshiba players appeared in Japanese stores in March 2006 and were followed three months later by the first Blu-ray machines. However, most home movie watchers refused to make a choice, preferring to stick with "old-fashioned" video discs and players at least until the format war was settled.

The choice now facing consumers is the brand of player to buy. At Jamada we sell and recommend Panasonic Blu-ray for performance, Samsung for price and the Playstation for functionality. Our trained sales staff are available to help you choose the player to suit your needs.
