“We’ve all been wondering what to make of those whispers that Warner was indeed going Blu-ray exclusive, and apparently, those rumblings are true. Based on a breaking release, Warner Bros. Entertainment will be releasing its high-definition titles “exclusively in the Blu-ray disc format beginning later this year.” According to Barry Meyer, Chairman & CEO, the move is a “strategic decision focused on the long term and the most direct way to give consumers what they want,” and he also noted that “the window of opportunity for high-definition DVD could be missed if format confusion continues to linger.” Notably, Warner will continue to release on both HD DVD and Blu-ray until May 2008, but after that, it’s BD for life for this studio. Oh, and while there’s nothing official mentioning any sort of payoff, we’re hearing that quite a sum was dished out to make this happen. Full release posted after the jump.”

Well fuck. Score one for Sony folks. Maybe I really should have gotten that blu-ray player instead of the hd dvd. The girlfriend has been saying this shit all along. This is a major blow to my balls. The movie list is about the same right now, with a few more going to the blu-ray crowd. That could all change any day if one company or another decides to piss on blu-ray. Let’s hope the Playstation 3 goes down in a heaping pile of expensive flames. Maybe then people will get off their asses & plan on getting a hd-dvd player. Who cares if the discs don’t hold as much as a blu-ray disc. The outputs are still all the same & all that shit [i looked it up somewhere online].
