Toshiba to release Blu-ray player

AfterDawn readers will undoubtedly remember the Blu-ray versus HD DVD format war that ended last November with the demise of the HD DVD format.

Toshiba, the main backer of the format, supposedly lost $1 billion USD as a result of the “war.”

Today, the Japanese company announced they will be releasing their first Blu-ray player, the BD-18, by the end of the year. There were no other details about specifications or the aesthetics of the player.

Since the demise of HD DVD, Toshiba has never fully embraced their once-rival, but it appears that strong growth in the format has led Toshiba to finally move on.
