HP No Longer Exclusively Supporting Blue-Ray

linumax wrote to mention an MSNBC article stating that HP is dropping its exclusive support for Blue-Ray. They'll be offering support to the HD-DVD format as well. From the article: "The decision is the latest sign of a looming 'format war' between the competing standards for a new generation of digital video players that can record high-definition films and video games. Blu-Ray and HD-DVD-compatible devices are expected to hit stores worldwide early next year."

looming?

a looming format war? what have you called the last year? minor consistent back and forth skirmishes?

Of course?

Who would support Blue-Ray anyway? I mean it isn't even a standard like Blu-Ray is.
