HD Format Wars are Over?  by Craig D at 09:42

PCXBoxPlaystation
The rumour that Toshiba are planning to quit the HD format wars this week are getting stronger by the minute, even Reuters is now reporting it. The source would appear to be Japanese public broadcaster NHK.

Toshiba is expected to suffer losses amounting to tens of billions of yen (hundreds of millions of dollars) to scrap production of HD DVD players and recorders and other steps to exit the business, Japan's NHK said on its website.

Victory via PlayStation 3?

It's half decent, nothing special though. Only worth playing online I think

I didn't like it, not enough tracks, not enough cars and not enough variation.
