Monday Round-Up : Holiday Edition
February 19, 2008

Seems that after Warner Bros.’ announcement at CES the dominoes just kept falling with announcements from Netflix, and now Wal-Mart that they will distribute Blu-Ray discs exclusively. Now there is heavy speculation that Toshiba is going to dump their HD DVD format – which I am sure will not be a welcome announcement for all the people that bit at the chance to purchase a $199 HD DVD player at Wal-Mart in the last couple of months. I have been following the format war, and will post more on it later.

I guess you can survive Freddie Krueger and Michael Myers. You just have to legislate them out of existence – it worked in China.
