Despite a recent push in the format wars to support HD DVD, it looks like Blu-Ray just might win out as the high-definition format of choice. Once the major studios had settled on their preferred formats, the war went to the retailers and HD product makers. Recent announcements from retailers include that Netflix and Walmart will both stop carrying HD DVD in favor of Blu-ray. The most recent rumor is that Toshiba is going to soon cease its HD DVD production altogether, effectively sealing the end of the format wars. This will allow the market to move forward with Blu-ray products.
