WB likes HD-DVD more than Blu-Ray - Blu-ray Forum

Canada · 06-28-2007, 06:38 AM

How I came to this thought is simple how come Batman Begins and Smallville season 5 (for examples) aren't out in Blu-Ray? I thought WB would have put out the same movies out in both formats to maximize profits. Maybe for some movies Toshiba and others have paid them money to keep certain movie/shows HD-DVD excusive for a year, year and a half, maybe 2. Just a thought. Don't know, just guessing, has anyone else actually heard and is not speculating, of something like this from a reputabe source.

Batman Begins is coming out this fall supposedly. You should have searched for threads like yours. You may have had to go back 3 or 4 days.

Warner Brothers is making Blu-Ray discs. If you want to bash a company then why not Universal. If they would do what Warner is right now it would be all over in a matter of few short months.

Warner has given me some of the best deals on discs, only Sony has done better. There are lots of conspiracy believers so enjoy the responses you get they will all be completely unsubstantiated though.

of course they've probably been paid by toshiba

thats how they are hanging in the format war if all the warner titles out on hddvd came out at the same time on bd this won't be a "battle" as none of the hddud exclusives(universal) are doing good its the warner movies and the tighta#$ toshiba players that has kept them going till now not the exclusive of uni
