Sony and Toshiba are in talks to develop a common standard for next-generation DVDs and end a fierce battle over formats that has been threatening to stifle the industry's growth.

The two companies, heading rival groups, have waged a three-year battle to have their new technology standards adopted by the industry and gain pole position in the multibillion dollar markets for DVD players, PC drives and optical disks.

They better have one standard. Consumer is the victim here if theres no standard. Imagine having 2 DVD player type to play various DVD format.
