Warner approaches podium....
Warner (in peter griffin fashion): "Well, better be hitting the ole dusty trail"

"P.S, VC-1 wasnt really transparent to the master, and at full bitrate BDs really do look better but we couldnt say that before. Oh and thanks for clearing out inventory on the HDDVD bogo....suckers"

In all honesty I can definitely see them speaking at their show. Warner has shown class by not pulling the releases they said they would release on HD-DVD. I am sure they will go on stage and thank HD-DVD and wish them the best of luck.

Ummmm. About that Blu-Ray thing....

Nothing, now that HD-DVD has cancelled their CES press conference.

Yeah, like paramount. I was really looking forward to Jack Ryan. Love that espionage chit.

"Oh, wow...You know...I always thought of you as a good friend. Um...I don't really want to screw that up. So...I mean, I hope we can still be friends...right?"

+1. After all, how would the Uni and Tosh execs be able to continue their head-in-the-sand mantra if they allowed a blu-exclusive studio to speak at their conference? And holding the conference but retracting the invite to WB...well, that would've just been stupid.

Yes. They really did.

Woah. That's pretty big news. How do you know it was cancelled? If they cancelled it, maybe it means they are finally giving up on HD-DVD all together. That would be awesome!

Maybe, Universal is switching at the show too and they couldn't have a press conference at all. I could understand having the conference after Warner bowed out, but not if two bow out. Maybe it really IS over.

Oh wow, this is it. Don't be surprised if Universal and Paramount say at CES that they will be releasing on BD starting in May as well. Jurassic Park and Jaws here they come. I am so fricken happy, I love Sony.

bluseminole · 01-05-2008, 03:33 AM

It's being discussed in this thread:

And yes, it is official.
