Toshiba to delay HD-DVD launch

Toshiba has announced that they need to delay the launch of their new HD-DVD format thanks to a lacklustre response from retailers and movie makers. It seems that content owners are proving slow to convert their films to the new format.

And this could well prove to be the challenge for Toshiba who has won over technology leaders such as Microsoft and HP to their cause, but failed to garner the full support from Hollywood. It seems that Hollywood is more behind Sony's Blu-ray disc, which is delayed as well thanks to Sony's Playstation 3 launch.

Delays for tech products seems all the rage right now! But delaying this battle may be welcome for everyone. I mean who wants another format war - but we're gonna get it starting this summer - enjoy!
