For months, the so-called DVD format wars have been mostly theoretical — but now, the real, marketplace battle is finally getting underway. Sony and Toshiba, two of the frontrunners in the race, will face off with competing technologies, with Samsung being the first to make Sony’s Blu-ray strike against Toshiba’s HD DVD possible. Samsung is coming to market next week with a Blu-ray player that will play Sony’s Blu-ray-based DVDs.
