Toshiba dropping HD DVD, going Blu-ray?

There are two new rumors involving Toshiba that are making their way around the internet:

  1. Toshiba will be killing the HD DVD high definition disc format in the coming weeks.
  2. Toshiba will try its hand at making its own Blu-ray player.

Huh?

If that happens, that would leave pretty much just Microsoft as the lone manufacturer of HD DVD hardware with its Xbox 360 HD DVD add-on, a business I can’t imagine they’ll want to stay in.

Does that mean that a Blu-ray add-on drive will make its way to the Xbox 360?

Lets not get ahead of ourselves, but a move like that wouldn’t be out of the question within the next 12 months.
