Sony wins HD DVD war


The battle for the next-generation high-definition DVD standard is over. Electronics giant Toshiba has decided to abandon its HD-DVD format in favour of Sony's BLU-RAY.
Toshiba will reduce shipments of HD DVD players and recorders and aims to end the business by the end of next month.
It is a good news for the end consumers who no longer have to choose between rival formats.
The standardization will also help accelerate the shift to the new technology in the $24 billion home DVD market.
