Monday, February 18 2008, a day that could mark the end of the “war” to impose the next standard after the already classical DVD. Toshiba with his format HD-DVD are near to capitulate in the fight with Blu-Ray technology promoted by Sony. At the end, Toshiba has paid the price of a weak marketing and to a space of smaller sensitive storage of the HD-DVD, despite of the price of a Blu-Ray Disc, which is more expensive than a DVD High Definition.

For everyone, the end of this war of the formats is a good thing, inclusively for the market. Probably, several less experienced persons wonder why the monopolization of the market is a good thing. The response is simple. Because there aren’t unities which can read the disks Blu-Ray and HD-DVD. These are made with different technologies. Imagine a case that you have a console XBOX and the game that you want to buy is available only for Blu-Ray. Imagine the same thing also for the movies. So, the big battle has been given here, and, finally, Blu-Ray won it.

In this manner, Sony takes the revenge after more than thirty years since the “war of the video cassettes” Betamax and VHS.Everyone knows that, the video cassettes VHS prevailed at that time, while the variant Betamax realized by Sony has remained a simple memory. It seems that Sony received once the lesson of humiliation, a lesson learned, for not receive it again.
