2006 in home video is considered something of a watershed for home media technology, with VHS being phased out as Blu-ray fought to replace the presently dominant DVD format. 2006 marked the end of the VHS era with the release of ''A History of Violence'', the last VHS release for a major Hollywood movie. Major retailers were switching to DVD-only sales while tapes were being sent to discount stores. This time marked the beginning of a major format war between Blu-ray and HD DVD which would be quickly won by Blu-ray. ==Events== * February - Retail chain Walmart in the USA stops selling VHS tapes after the Christmas and holiday season. * April 18, 2006 marked the launch of HD DVD in the US.. * June 20, 2006 marked the launch of Blu-ray Disc in the US.. *September-October: Toshiba launches HD DVD in Sweden. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「2006 in home video」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
