I doubt Warner would go exclusive Blu. Cutting off all the current HD DVD owners would be terrible for the industry. I'd expect to see Warner building on the features offered by Blu like higher bitrate video, audio, along with 1.1 and 2.0 when they are available instead of the practice of cloning the HD-DVD VC1 content. Eventually, because of lower volume, content would cost more on HD DVD than Blu.
Warner does seem a bit more consumer conscious of late. Didn't an insider recently state that we'd soon see Warner differentiating the Blu and HD DVD content?
