So insiders, is WB maybe considering going hd dvd exclusive in order to keep hd dvd competitive until they can finalize their dual disc and increase the market for such?
First, I love your sig! Very appropriate to our cause.

Secondly, I believe that you ask a very interesting question. However, I do whole-heartedly believe that WB has given up on the TotalHD idea. It is clear that there would be no market for that now that what little portion of the market is involved with HDM has become a bunch of warring neanderthals (yes, even the most serene of Blu-ray & HD DVD supporters have become emotionally unstable at some point regarding their passion for their respective format). As such, the market for a TotalHD concept has long since passed. Perhaps about 7 months ago it could have stood a small chance, but not today... nor tomorrow.
