HD DVD Looking at a Late Start
It looks like Toshiba's next-generation HD DVD standard is suffering yet another setback in the battle with Sony's Blu-Ray over the chance to be the new hi-def DVD standard.
Yes, in addition to recent, devastating poll results showing that consumers greatly preferred Blu-Ray, Toshiba is at a loss in announcing that it will not be launching its new DVD format this year, but will instead be waiting until next year for the debut. This change of plans will almost certainly eliminate the advantage HD DVD might have had over Blu-Ray if Toshiba had launched it this year.
