Now that Toshiba have announced that manufacturing of HD-DVD players will end this month the future of HD-DVD is unknown.

Amazon have slashed the price of hundreds of HD-DVD titles, so much so that for a while some titles were at the top of the Amazon bestseller list! This suggests to me that the only reason it has not been a success so far is because it was over priced.

What we really need is more dual-format players that can play both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD.

I’m sure that there will be healthy market for HD DVD movies for years to come, after all there are lots of people who spent lots of money on the players and they wont just go away.
