Microsoft pulls plug on HD DVD

Microsoft said it will <A HREF="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080224/ap_on_hi_te/microsoft_hd_dvd">stop making HD DVD players</A> for its Xbox 360 video game system after Toshiba ceded the high-definition video format battle to Sony's Blu-ray.

Microsoft said Saturday it would continue to provide standard warranty support for its HD DVD players. Toshiba President Atsutoshi Nishida last week estimated about 300,000 people own the Microsoft video player, sold as a separate $130 add-on for the Xbox 360.
