Blu-ray Formats Triumph Over Rival HD DVD

Just this year, Warner Brothers, the largest player in the $42 billion global home entertainment market, has decided to favour Sony's Blu-ray discs over rival format Toshiba's HD DVD. Weeks later, Wal-Mart, one of the largest retailer, has also made similar move.

With Warner Brothers’ backing, Sony’s Blu-ray high-definition format now has about 70 percent of the DVD market locked up. Could this be the end of Toshiba's HD DVD format? But certainly, consumers will have an easier choice when it comes to which of the 2 formats to choose from.
