Of course Gary is right. I'm "blu", but I don't delude myself anymore to think that Warner is neutral.

Like I've said in another thread, they (i.e. WB) may as well be HD DVD exclusive...it will eventually be to their detriment...

The funniest thing is that WB actually sell more BD units even though they have released less films, sure that night change now that the Matrix is out, but title-for-title WB have a higher selling rate on BD.

I wonder how long Warner will be able to keep the charade up. They love to dance and cheer about how being neutral is great but they still have an imbalance.

Well, WB have great interest in HD DVD as DVD was the golden child and this is the direct offspring. Fortunately the higher-ups at TW know better than to risk a war that will impede sales of HDM so instructed them to play fair and go neutral as BD already had the bulk of the support.

Tbh I would prefer HD DVD castoffs to nothing as it still gets a boxed ticked for Blu-ray. Average consumers don't care about bitrates and all that, they just wan the movie and if BD can't offer them *most* of the WB movies with a promise that they will all be on the way soon, then it would be a big blow for Blu-ray.

They like the idea of HD-DVD and what it offers now [IME].

But, at the same time, they like the money blu-ray gives them, now...

Now, when the interactive tools and stuff get finalized and player support rolls out. I think we'll see Warner shift to embrace the 'IME' potential and the money generation from bd, both at the same time.

Warner Bros arent following the white rabbit. They clearly dont know how deep the rabbit whole goes. They're still stuck in the dream world. they can be told what BLU Ray is they have to see it for themselves. If they read these forums we could free their minds. lol

The Matrix is rapidly moving up my list to be right next to Star Wars when it comes to - WHO GIVES A FLYING SQUIRREL when it comes out.

The Matrix sucked after the first movie. I am sorry to all the matrix fans, but it did. It when to hell in a hand bag.
