Interesting how one day later, Toshiba and Sony announce a multi-billion dollar joint venture deal in which Toshiba buys Sony's chip making operations (to be then leased to the JV). This deal goes back to last October, and makes you wonder what part the format war played in their negotiations.

I agree with Jerry, they may not want to announce it publicly just yet, but there is no doubt they will continue in the future HD player market (which can only mean Blu-ray).
