But it sounds like Toshiba's words are measured enough to imply they're not jumping into this particular shark tank right away and almost certainly are going to wait for the technology to become popular, and profitable before taking the plunge - and have been holding off because they don't see either as particularly likely to ever happen.

Which is what most of us who aren't Darren Murph have been saying Toshiba is going to do for the last year.

Blu-ray on-line movie prices are already being driven lower and stand-alones have come down a bit too.

I've yet to hear of anyone (besides the movie studios) making any money out of Blu-ray once R&D and production costs are taken into account.

So why would Toshiba bother?]]>Jun 24th 2009 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/toshiba-ceo-mentions-the-possibility-of-supporting-blu-ray/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/toshiba-ceo-mentions-the-possibility-of-supporting-blu-ray/

If they can pull off a player that rivals the PS3 in speed in for $200 (no analog audio), it might just have a chance. ]]>Jun 24th 2009 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/toshiba-ceo-mentions-the-possibility-of-supporting-blu-ray/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/toshiba-ceo-mentions-the-possibility-of-supporting-blu-ray/Jun 25th 2009 12:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/toshiba-ceo-mentions-the-possibility-of-supporting-blu-ray/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/toshiba-ceo-mentions-the-possibility-of-supporting-blu-ray/Jun 25th 2009 5:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/toshiba-ceo-mentions-the-possibility-of-supporting-blu-ray/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/toshiba-ceo-mentions-the-possibility-of-supporting-blu-ray/Jun 25th 2009 10:36AM
