Tech and Gadget Wars of all Time


2. Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD

Sony came back with revenge in the early 2000s. The company offered up the Blu-ray disc its successor to the standard DVD. Toshiba’s offering, the HD-DVD, was cheaper, but offered less in the way of capacity. A number of high profile tech companies came out in support of their preferred format.

Blu-ray claimed Dell, HP, Panasonic, and Mitsubishi, among others. HD-DVD, meanwhile had Sanyo, Intel, Microsoft, RCA, and a few more. Sony eventually won this round.
