Toshiba said Tuesday it will no longer manufacture HD-DVDs, effectively ending the long-running battle with the rival Blu-ray for a dominant high-definition format. Toshiba said it made the decision to cease developing, manufacturing, and marketing HD-DVDs after 'recent major changes in the market'. It promised to continue offering support and service for all 1.3+ million Toshiba HD-DVDs sold so far.

The problem/issue with Bleray is that the profiles are still being worked on and "to my knowledge" other than the PS3, no other blueray player out there is upgradable to support the newer profiles.
Now that the format war is over, only if the damn Bluray Disc prices come down.
