Default Campaign to focus on Warner titles

I've posted in the Warner thread, but there was a lot of off topic discussion on the cheaper $100-200 players & 1080i, so I think some important posts may get lost in the shuffle there, plus I thought this was serious enough to warrant starting a new thead in hopes that more people start checking the Warner thread. So here is what I am most concerned about & think we should all do regarding the Warner situation, which could play a big part in ending this war as you all know:
_________________________

I think regardless of the HD DVD sales, if "Blu-ray supporters ban together" and buy "mainly Warner titles this quarter", hold off on some of the new Sony/Disney/etc. titles "if money is pressing", then buy the Sony/Disney titles in the new year, that will keep Blu-ray way ahead in sales for Warner titles! For those who can buy all the Warner titles and the Sony/Disney/Fox/etc., then even better, but definitely focus on getting all the Warner ones first this quarter!!!

I think the "HD DVD guys are going to try and do the same"...they are going to buy mostly Warner titles like "Harry Potter" movies, etc., and thus try to change Warner's sales numbers down from 2:1 to go towards HD DVD's favor, knowing that Warner are watching. If they succeed, then Warner will likely stay neutral longer, but if we can all focus on Warner titles for this quarter and spread this word to all Blu-ray supporters that we want to change the sales ratio from 2:1 to 2.5:1 on Warner titles, then that will help spell the end of the war more quickly, as I think Warner would sway to Blu's side before the end of the 4th quarter, or at least shortly thereafter. It's in all our best interests, and in the interests of consumers in gereral, to end this war by focusing on Warner titles and getting them to go exclusively Blu!

I really feel that HD DVD supporters will try this same thing in their purchasing, and thus we must counter it, and then some! I still don't have any Blu-ray player or equipment yet, but I am buying some titles this quarter to do my part, and "they will be Warner titles only" for the very reasons I mentioned! Once I get my stuff and can actually play them (after xmas), I will focus on Sony, Disney, Fox, etc., as they have many movies I'd like, but I'm willing to wait on those so that I can do my part with the Warner issue, which I think is going to play a huge part in all this.

Anyone think this makes sense, or am I being paranoid on what I believe HD DVD guys will be focused on buying now in order to tip the scales of Warner sales their way a little, and thus keep Warner neutral (or they would 'hope' exclusive for them)?
