In response to Warner Bros. Entertainment's January 4 press release that it has decided to release its high-definition disc titles exclusively in Blu-ray Disc (BD) format beginning later this year, leading Taiwan-based optical disc drive (ODD) makers generally hold the opinion that Warner Bros.' support could be a key factor in deciding the battle between BD and HD DVD in favor of BD.

Lite-On IT, BenQ, Asustek Computer and Quanta Storage, leading Taiwan-based makers of PC-use ODDs, have offered BD-ROM drives, BD burners and BD Combo drives but have not yet offered models supporting HD DVD formats, implying their choice between BD and HD DVD, the sources pointed out.

Yeah, but this was true LONG before Warner's decision. So, let's not give ALL credit to Warner... the BDA has been on the ball since the beginning on the PC front. Although I think Benq either makes or did make HD DVD drives for Toshiba (in addition to NEC).
