Blu-ray Wins; HD DVD is Offically Dead (Toshiba Announcement)

So it is finally over!  The format war that is.  Toshiba made an offical announcement stating they will cease production of HD DVD.  A surprising answer from a Q&A states that Toshiba has no current plans to adopt Blu-ray.  I guess they need to let the wounds heal for awhile? Source

Netflix goes Blu-ray exclusive

So now that both Netflix and Blockbuster are Blu-ray exclusive is this another nail in the coffin for HD DVD? Sure seems to be the trend lately that HD-DVD is loosing support left and right. Makes me very happy though, i have backed Blu-ray since the PS3 launched and am glad to see this format war getting close to it’s end. I want to start seeing the next-gen drives coming standard in laptops/desktops so we can move on from the limited spacing that regular DVDs give us.
