    ps3 Warner Backs Blu-Ray. End Times For HD-DVD?

    The NY Times reports: In addition to Apple, Warner Brothers is now going to throw its weight behind the Blu-ray format for high-definition disks. Warner has been the only major studio to publish its movies in both Blu-ray and HD DVD formats. Today, the studio announced that from now on, it would only issue movies in Blu-ray. Richard Greenfield, the media analyst with Pali Research, wrote that this marks the end of the format wars: "We expect HD DVD to 'die' a quick death."

    Traitor... They cant do this to HD-DVD. HD-DVD is one who win the wars, not Blu-Ray. HD-DVD Player is much cheaper than Blu-Ray Player. I got both HD-DVD (XBox 360) & Blu-Ray (PS3). I have been buying HD-DVD Movie quiet sometimes now.

    This is why the format war is stupid. Format Wars only hurt the consumer in the end. Honestly, if you knew from the beginning which format was gonna win, would you had even bothered supporting the losing format?

    In my opinion its just wasted money, with no hope of getting it back.

    How does that have anything to do with Blu-ray/HD-DVD?

    Yes, but 360 sales have little to nothing to do with Blu-ray or HD-DVD. There is about a 3% margin of people who would actually buy that HD-DVD add-on.
