The mighty warrior Toshiba continues to wield its katana against overwhelming odds. The allies of Sony continue to gather strength even while Toshiba tries aggressive and risky maneuvers. Sony got in a nasty stab with the announcement of Warner’s support of both formats after having only supported Toshiba’s HD-DVD previously.

The big backer of the next generation blue-laser high-definition DVD format may not ship until 2006.

Forget about unification, compromise, or concessions; both tech firms refuse to budge on next-generation blue laser DVDs.

Toshiba Storage Device Division (SDD) has shipped the first hard disk drives (HDDs) based on on perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR).

Toshiba put their perpendicular hard drive onto the market and they’ve crammed a lot of memory into small 1.8 inch unit, 40 GB worth to be specific.

Toshiba announced that it has developed a new high-end processor core based on its “Media embedded Processor” (MeP) architecture.

In a never-ending battle for a higher notch in the high definition DVD world, Toshiba fired another salvo with their announcement of work towards a recordable 30GB HD-DVD.

The new president and CEO of Toshiba wants to sit back down with Sony and talk about HD-DVD and Blu-ray.

Toshiba adds a little Microsoft firepower to the high-density DVD war going on with Sony. The two companies announced today they would further their recent collaborations as they both work to develop the future of the HD-DVD format.

The warlord known as Sony rides back to camp. He tells his generals there could be no parley with the lord Toshiba. They cannot decide whose sword will rule. No compromise can be reached. He commanded his generals to ride and muster soldiers from all corners of the land to prepare for the War of the Blue Light.

The mighty warrior Toshiba fingers his katana as sweat drips from his brow. After many minutes of this battle of wills with the warlord known only as Sony, a smile crept onto the face of Toshiba. He had gained something, if only briefly, in this contest of honor.

The high-profile heart of the forthcoming PlayStation 3 will have key details disclosed in Barcelona today.

Though it is under pressure from supporters of its HD DVD format to stay the course, Sony may have this battle won.

Sony and Toshiba stand like two old samurai waiting for the other to flinch in the DVD duel. Toshiba seems to be getting annoyed with the powerful Sony, the Shogun of Japanese electronics firms. Parley attempts remain at a standstill and Toshiba say little ground will be gained until Sony softens its attitude on the unification of the DVD formats.
