A CES 2008 announcement from Warner's is NOT going to happen simply for safety reasons of the staff and attendees. Everyone know this is a very visceral issue.

IF WB does not announce exclusivity at CES 2008, it would be crappy of them to announce a bunch of titles for HD DVD in 2008 only to cancel them shortly later.

I'm really hoping they will announce something after Christmas. Perhaps the first week of January... as it will give them a chance to see how many of those HD DVD players given for Christmas will be used to buy HD DVDs...

Of course, they could stay silent on HDM releases at CES (ala Universal at CES 2007), and announce exclusivity later that week, or the week after.

Personally, I would LOVE for them to hit the ground running at CES as an EXCLUSIVE studio so that their title announcements, etc... will get the most attention...
