Default WB advertising BD in HD DVD cases!

A friend of mine who prefers HD DVD discovered this and took a picture. He isn't the type to plant evidence and make false claims (especially when it comes to WB and his precious HD DVD). As soon as he opened his HD DVD copy of Smalville S6 he discovered......... THIS!

I couldn't help but laugh out loud and shed a tear of pride/joy all at the same time.

It's just an assembly mistake. But it's good for a laugh.

GASP! I have never intended to see the inside of one of those red boxes - it's almost like catching your parent's doing something you're not supposed to see.

Red is the color of the devil!

The next flyer will state "We are now switching from duel release to a single BD release. Glad you have enjoyed your HD-DVDs but we would suggest you invest in a BD player or duel player to enable you play the few HD-DVDs already in your collection".

Someone at WB may be preparing hd-dvd folks for the switch next year to BD. They don't want to do it the way Paramount did.

It is pretty funny, but it is an obvious mistake.

for sure Warner likes Blu-ray : in France the 300 ad is this : the three cases (DVD, HD DVD and Blu-ray), the guy saying available ij DVD and HD format, then a pause, and you have great experiment with Blu-ray on PS3 ... !!!
