There is a reason for my lack of posts on the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray format war and that is because there is very little news to report at this current time. After all of the news in the past few months things have slowed down with the only real announcements being the new generation of HD-DVD players coming from Toshiba and the budget HD-DVD player from Venturer. Add to this some minor title announcements from both parties and that is pretty much that.

I suppose the lack of major news is because of the fast approaching holiday season. Both formats are getting ready to face off. A poor showing by either format could determine their longevity but remember that these are still early days. I am also wondering whether there will be any major title announcements in time for Christmas. Blu-Ray appears to have a stronger selection of titles set for release, will HD-DVD respond?
