do you really mean to tell me that if Warner switch to BD exclusive you don't think Universal or Weinstein will atleast go neutral coming to a conclusion that the studio's have the say, if Universal goes neutral, or BD exclusive after warner, do you honestly think HD-DVD will last long? Paramount/Dreamworks would then be the last major studio releasing movies for HD-DVD.

Just having Warner switch will be a sever blow the HD-DVD but the studio's know just as we do that this format war doesn't do them any favors nor is it good for us.
