Mods can you please leave this as a single thread and not merge it? Did not see a way to PM the mods with this request.

If so, I suggest you start acting like it. The title was not to offend but rather get your attention. I see post talking about if Warner goes exclusive then its over for Blu-Ray. Think about what you are saying. HD-DUD had 1 studio (Universal) that was their only exclusive studio for almost 2 years now and did they accept defeat and give up? The PS3 has given Blu-Ray over 5 million players and that number will only grow once the gamers jump on board this holiday season when the games start being released. The way I look at it Warner and Paramount might had planned this from the beginning because look at how many titles they both released... very few and Warner was only porting the movies over to Blu-Ray disk from their HD-DUD encodes (not taking advantage of 50GB space) costing them no extra money. So they figured they could make a little extra money with little risk, then once their contract runs out with BDA they switch over to HD-DUD again and this would have more psychological impact right when it looks like Blu-Ray is the winner.
Another thing HD-DUD did not account for is like it or not this economy is heading for a serious recession within the next year. Do you think people struggling to make mortgage payments and trying to provide food for their families are going to invest in either Blu-Ray or HD-DUD with the uncertainty that surrounds the formats? Guess who will still have some extra spending money to buy Blu-Ray movies? The demographic that does not have to provide for their family and pay a mortgage, that would be gamers (15-25). They will still have their little job side job bringing in spending money and they don't have have to worry about paying bills. (they live at home with parents)
The PS3 is a very powerful tool for Blu-Ray and is not going anywhere. Who wants to invest in that POS X-box 360 that has a flawed design and is certain to give you RRD within a year and leave you without a console for 1 month. So lets calm done with some of the irrational thinking around here, (just what Microsoft wants you to do). Also lets not forget the HUGE advantage Blu-Ray has with the PC market for burning applications and storage. HD-DUD cannot even produce a burner. HD-DUD simply is a stop gap technology that is truly not next generation in anyway shape or form. At first I did support HD-DUD and Blu-Ray but ever since DOUCHEBAG AMIR revealed himself as FUD spreading liar (50GB is vaporware ) I returned my HD player to walmart and vowed never to spend another dime on a format claiming to be next generation that could not even do KING KONG with a Tru-HD soundtrack because of bandwidth limitations from 30GB HD-DUD. Are you going to let Microsoft control you once again with lies and strong arm you into buying the inferior format HD-DUD? I know I am not.
