Following the sudden defeat of HD DVD, Toshiba revealed last month that it will attempting to kick Blu-ray’s butt – again – by placing a special chip in its new DVD players that will upscale DVD video into HD video to rival that of Blu-ray.

This month we get a new logo [above] and speculation that Toshiba will be adding Internet capability to the new DVD players – and DVD movie disc content – too. The “DVD Download/DL” logo has been approved by the DVD Forum Steering Committee but we have no real information on what it will actually do. Will it make a difference in the never-ending HD spat?
