HD-DVD Just About Dead

From Toshiba’s press release:

“We carefully assessed the long-term impact of continuing the so-called ‘next-generation format war’ and concluded that a swift decision will best help the market develop,” said Atsutoshi Nishida, President and CEO of Toshiba Corporation. “While we are disappointed for the company and more importantly, for the consumer, the real mass market opportunity for high definition content remains untapped and Toshiba is both able and determined to use our talent, technology and intellectual property to make digital convergence a reality.”

What do the people who invested in Toshiba’s HD-DVD Player or the XBOX 360 add-on accessory to do? I guess there may be an empty spot in the closet next to the BetaMax player.
