the war is over. HD-DVD has lost
The group trying to promote the HD-DVD format as the high-definition video standard cancelled its planned party Sunday night at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in the aftermath of the decision by Warner Bros to back the rival Blu-Ray format.
The cancellation was seen by many observers at the world's biggest technology trade show as tantamount to an admission of defeat by the HD-DVD consortium, whose main backers include Toshiba, Microsoft and Intel. Blu-Ray was invented by Sony, and its backers include Panasonic and Samsung.
