This idea comes as bit of shock but the DVD may soon be absolete. You heard right, the DVd will soon be a thing of the past. The problem is which prevailing format will dominate which may end in a similar battle of VHS v.s. Betamax. The reason for the eventual extinction of DVD comes down to the proliferation of the new HD-Tv's. Regular televisions are not big enough to cope with HDTV's memory-intensive images. Therefore they require a different technology. The 2 companies in the running are Sony and Toshiba. Even though sony seems to have a greater backing in Hollywood Toshiba has just dealt a stunning blow:
oshiba said it would be launching its first commercial HD-DVD player in March at $499 - a price that analysts say is highly competitive. "HD-DVD is destined to be a key driver for progress and the development of the consumer electronics, IT and entertainment industries," says Yoshihide Fujii, a senior vice-president of Toshiba.
