»Warner Bros. Backs Blu-Ray Only

It really looks like the format war is over in favor of Blu-Ray. <a href="http://www.timewarner.com/corp/newsroom/pr/0,20812,1700383,00.html">Warner has dropped HD DVD</a>. This happened right before CES, a move that Toshiba is probably pissed over.

Warner Home Video will continue to release its titles in standard DVD format and Blu-ray. After a short window following their standard DVD and Blu-ray releases, all new titles will continue to be released in HD DVD until the end of May 2008. "Warner Bros. has produced in both high-definition formats in an effort to provide consumer choice, foster mainstream adoption and drive down hardware prices," said Jeff Bewkes, President and Chief Executive Officer, Time Warner Inc., the parent company of Warner Bros. Entertainment. "Today's decision by Warner Bros. to distribute in a single format comes at the right time and is the best decision both for consumers and Time Warner."

The really funny part is that there are rumours of an HD-DVD XBox 360 that will debut at CES.

Michael: Jodie, how's my schedule look for today?
Jodie: You've got a conference and dinner party at the Japanese Embassy regarding wildlife protection.
Michael: Oh, yeah...sorry, but I'll have to cancel that. I'm heading out to save America!
