http://www.rte.ie/business/2008/0219/dvd.html?rss Wasn't much of a battle was it?!? I was expecting this to go on for another 2 years, well into writers under EUR100. Toshiba are a pushover:eek:

Makes good business sense. There was only ever going to be one winner and once Toshiba saw that they were not going to win, they pulled the plug right away. No point in prolonging the inevitable and wasting millions. Sony lost so much money pursuing Betamax long after VHS won the market.
