Last January Warner left the HD DVD format and immediately a destructive ball started spinning. Now that Blu-ray is the official high definition standard and the Blu-ray Disc Association owns the market, Toshiba could do two things: they could make their own Blu-ray drives, or buy one and integrate them in their notebooks/PCs.
A spokesperson of Toshiba ensured us that we wouldn't have to discuss the last option by claiming that Toshiba won't make Blu-ray drives. The spokesperson couldn't say if they would sell products with Blu-ray integrated in the future.
Intresting enough, yesterday Toshiba announced that they will focus on DVD downloads and this could mean that the company will also step away from high-definition in the hardware market and focus on high definition content delivered in other ways.
