HD format war intensifies with announcements and rumors
Sunday
The Internet this week has been buzzing with chatter about the dueling Blu-ray/HD DVD formats. While there are journalists who predict the success of one format over another, there is growing consensus that this "war" will be longer and more vicious than anyone had previously predicted. A SciFi.com article has collected thoughts on the format war from CNET, Gizmodo, CrunchGear, PC Magazine, Coolest Gadgets, and Forbes.
Highlights of the collected thoughts are:

* On Toshiba's sub-$1000 laptop with HD-DVD/DVD-RW drive: Meh. Could help? (Gizmodo)
