Not according to our news (which is hours in front of the US ;-) http://www.smh.com.au/news/biztech/say-sayonara-to-hd-dvd/2008/02/18/1203190703474.html "A Toshiba source, speaking to Reuters, confirmed earlier reports that the company was planning to concede defeat as early as this month."

So essentially what Toshiba said is:

"Hey! We haven't cancelled it! We aren't cancelling it until at least Thursday. Give us some time to write a press release will ya?!"




You mechs may have copper wiring to reroute your fear of pain, but I've got nerves of steel.
