Warner Going Blu-ray Exclusive (Rumor)

[SA0CD]

Hello,
I'm happy to announce that tomorrow 10AM PST Warner will issue a press release announcing they are going Blu-ray exclusive. I know many of you will not believe me and think this is simply a joke (which I dont blame you for) but I ask you one thing :
-Wait till tomorrow and see what happens. If the announcement doesn't come through, you can blame me all you want and ban me from the site.
Again I'm going to expect alot of doubful comments (or maybe some not nice ones ) coming but I'm fine with it. I'm some one you guys already know (and perhaps you have read my posts before ).
As for those folks willing to have a bit more faith in me, let me give you some insights for tomorrow's announcement :

-Tomorrow Warner will announce going Blu-ray exclusive. However they will honor their commitment to HD DVD (unlike Paramount to Blu-ray) and release all the titles that were promised this year. Starting 2008, Warner will release only in Blu-ray Disc format.
-Waner will release all the previously exclusive HD DVD titles on Blu-ray by end of Q2 2008.
-The first Blu-ray live title (including PiP) from warner will release early 2008.
-As for their joint promotion with Toshiba regarding bundling 300 with 3rd generation Blu-ray players, the offer will expire December 2007.
-New Line will also go Blu-ray exclusive starting 2008 (Hairspray hint anyone?)
-One big catalogue title will be released exclusive on Blu-ray by Q2 2008. I believe Peter Jackson has something to do with that title

Tomorrow 10AM Pacific Time. For those of you who will think I'm not telling the truth or being stupid, I respect that opinion. But coming tomorrow when Warner announces exclusivity, all of you have to send me a Blu-ray movie as a bonus .

I'll believe it when i see an official press release. Shouldnt start any rumors without any sources.

Wow, if that's true, this is the best news ever and you're my hero. If it's not true, at least you made me happy before I left work. I may hate you tomorrow :-) , but for now, nothing but love from me.

Hope it's true.

Who knows this could lead to Batman Begins getting released on Blu Ray at some point.

I understand that and I'm not expecting much; which I mentioned in my post. However Tomorrow will be very telling.

[E-Dogg]

That would be great news, but I guess we'll wait and see.

[cathexist]

[cartman781]

[CptGreedle]

We'll see... and how did you come about such interesting information?

[Teazle]

Why didn't the OP simply wait until tomorrow to discuss this?

The deal was finalized not very long ago. And that's why Warner will continue releasing HD DVDs till the end of 2007.

Wow, if that's true, this is the best news ever and you're my hero. If it's not true, at least you made me happy before I left work. I may hate you tomorrow :-) , but for now, nothing but love from me.

I'm sure you are not going to hate me.

Oh and more thing, You have to thank Panasonic and Sony for this.
Remembr, you read about it first here.

[bhampton]

So,.. no mention of your source for this info then?

Me thinks this is just a joke. But,.. I'm not gonna send you a blu ray if it's not (sorry love my Blu Rays too much to do something like that.)

I have some WB titles and them switching would be good but I thought the word was they were going to watch the coming holidays and then figure out what to do.

Even if it's true ... HD DUD will spin it as good for HD DUD and they still won't give up hope in their defeated format.

LOL...guess anyone can have their opinion on the subject, but there haven't been any rumors out there stating that this will happen and none of our insiders have been hinting about this. I was excited for about a second when I read the thread heading, but I'm going to be skeptical until it actually is broadcast for the public to read.

Sorry, but I'm not getting my hopes up. You can come back and tell us that you were right after it is annouced.
