Do you hear that? That's the sound of "Taps" being played for HDTV players and recorders. Toshiba has announced that, "it will no longer develop, manufacture and market HD DVD players and recorders." Yes, it's true. Just like Beta was phased out in favor of VHS, HDTV has lost in its head to head battle with Blu-ray. As of March 2008, the manufacture of the hardware will cease, and production of HD DVD disk drives for PCs and games as well.

Good news for Smallville fans who dig that whole "high definition" thing. The fifth season of the series will be released in the HD DVD format on November 28, so if you're willing to shell out a little more cash (it'll cost around eighty bucks), you can enjoy watching young Superman doing whatever it is he does on that show. Sorry, I've never seen a single episode. Not much of a comic book geek am I. But occasionally type like Yoda I do. The DVD will also include the usual extras such as deleted scenes and audio commentary, as well as special HD features. This is part of Warner's new Superman DVD campaign, which also includes HD DVD releases of the Superman movies.
