Interesting: Warner was not present at the HD DVD IFA conference

[Jack Torrance]

The point is that WB supports both formats. And some of us have the suspicion that (at least until very recently ) WB had favoured HD-DVD.

With this in mind, the fact that they showed up for the BD event... but were basically a no show for the HD-DVD event is... interesting.

No, that's not the point. At the present WB is neutral. If WB was wanting to communicate their long-term plans to stay neutral, they would have been at both. Their singular presence at the BD conference does say volumes. I was feeling about 50-50 that WB might go Blu, but now I am totally convinced that they are, AND since they were a part of the promotion of upcoming 1.1 features, that WB will announce they are switching to only Blu soon after Nov. 1st.

Don't get your hopes too much! Just take it as "Interesting" for now... nothing more, no speculatiuon. Warner are 100% behind both formats and we can enjoy their support. That's it.

Well said. Some of these posters seem to have majored in speculation. I don't take this as evidence that Warner is about go exclusive.

I'm with you. WB sales figures dictate a major lead for BD. WB not at the PC for hddvd does speak volumes. WB should go Blu exclusive.
Wb likes the unit sales of both formats. This will come back when everyone buys Blu-Ray.

The world has chosen Blu-Ray. We need to move on.
