HD-DVD LOSES!

It looks like Blu-Ray has won. Toshiba, the major developer of HD-DVD, is shutting down its HD-DVD production facilities. It's Over. HD-DVD has lost.

I have one thing to say on this. I called it.

Ever since rumours of Sony backed Blu-Ray and Toshiba backed HD-DVD were in development all those years ago, I was saying Blu-Ray was going to win. I would tell anyone who would listen that Blu-Ray was not only superior, but that Sony wasn't going to lose another format war.

I got in some heated discussions, all of which I would like to think I won. Especially looking back now.

I'm not going to lie, I feel good about myself. I feel somewhat superior to all those people who just thought I was choosing a side for the sake of choosing a side. Yes, my ego has been inflated. I think I may become a futurist. Perhaps this blog will be my starting point.
