After all this glorious things that have happened this week i just have to ask?, where is Ken and the other HD DVD people at, i thought it would be fun to hear them try to explain away the events of the last week. i will speculate, did ken get fired, demoted, what? what do you say?

I think it was rather unfair that Kornblau didn't let Ken make the announcement. Seems more of a save ass move for CK. He was the one that put Universal down the HD DVD road and told Ken Graffeo to push it.

The inside opinion is Ken was only doing his job, and is still respected.

Graffeo looks like the scapegoat here...

chillin. watching BDs on his new PS3. I bet 1,000,000 bucks Graffeo has a blu-ray player now.

But is it a PS3 or a standalone? You know the effect it would have on attach rates.

Can't be a PS3, because gamers don't buy movies.

I highly doubt that.

After holding Universal back from the money that this format war Wasted I'd be surprised if he still has either one of his jobs next week.

He's probably gone fishing. What else do you do till your unemployment benefits starts rolling in.

He may be quite safe. The overall executive structure of NBC and Universal is so incompetent and misguided that he fits in sort of unnoticed.

If was really Blu inside he should have said what he believed - not toed the company line. So what if he had got fired from Universal. An exec in his field could have easily found a job at another media company.

I think Jodi Sally will announce on the breaking news and say...

Graffeo is probably locked up somewhere in a dark and dreary cave crying in the fetal position. Supposedly he was sentenced to 10 lashes to be carried out in a major public area, set to be broadcast live via webcam to every single organization remotely affiliated with or parented by General Electric.

Will that be released on Blu-ray? I'll buy.
