The fallout from the now-over Blu-ray vs. HD DVD war is still coming, with Toshiba suffering a 95% loss in profits this quarter, most of it attributed to the failure of HD DVD as the format of choice for next-gen disc players.
Samsung, meanwhile, is showing a 37% increase in profits, mostly from mobile phones and LCDs.
For Toshiba, it wasn’t just the licensing, but the loss of HD DVD’s manufacturing that cause the loss. Tosh had invested millions in the manufacture of the disks, but then had to shutter its plants.
Wars, even format wars, have casualties. The good news though is that Toshiba’s shares only fell 2% on the news.

I’m really wondering what happened that let R*’s crown jewel out so early. Folks have been playing this game since last Wednesday and it doesn’t launch until the 29th, a strange bit of highly professional piracy indeed. Oh well. R*’s loss is our gain as we watch hundreds of hours of HD encoded GTA in the privacy of our own man dens.

I think I’ll let the bionic arms do the talkin’ here. This highly-anticipated XBLA game is looking to be an unbelievable bargain: the full single-player remake of Bionic Commando from the NES, plus a crazy 4-player deathmatch mode that looks like a barrel of fun. I’m going to make Matt buy it. Don’t forget to confirm […]

Don’t forget to confirm your age for the player app! (wtf?)
