Thats pretty sweet.I am very impressed by Blu-ray I really did not think it would be that big of a change but its like being at the movies. Sweet. Hopefully a new Superman Movie + Batman +Sony = Spiderman all the good superhero movies are on bluray.

And Netflix is going to kick them both in the nuts. RIP Blu-Ray and HD-DVD :( We need to start forgetting about the whole concept of "owning" movies.

It's not like nobody is doing streaming video right now... Just because Netflix join things won't suddenly change for the better.

Same. Not to mention the service won't even be HD. It will be dvd quality. I'd rather just keep getting the movies in the mail.

Damn right, HD-DVD is done. 8 Exclusive studios (Bluray) vs. 2 exclusive studies (HD-DVD), yep they lost. I have both players but I'll likely stop buying HD-DVDs now. The format is officialy on it's way out. Truth be told, I thought Bluray would lose, but I guess having every PS3 equiped with Bluray was a trojan horse.

I feel honestly sorry for HD DVD owners out there who want the movies that also blu ray owners are getting, the only company that supports bothnow is New line (which most of there HD DVD movies are released later then there blu ray counterparts, exception is Pan's Labyrinth, which is released on both the same day). The thing I liked about Warner is that they give everyone what they want, although I'll point out that some of theircatalog movies are only availible on HD DVD, I think warner will lose some of there credibility for this, but if the war must end quick, you might as well just go Blu ray exclusive.

The sooner one format wins the better off we all are so I'm glad to hear it. I really don't care what format reigns supreme, but since I have a PS3 which plays Blu-ray movies I suppose I would welcome Blu-ray as the winner. Warner going exclusive should have a very sizeable impact, and hopefully bring this war to an end sometime this year.

See, this is what I don't understand. There is no HDDVD gaming system out there. Why would anyone want to buy HDDVD and miss out on so much?:?

Doesn't Universal have some type of stake in HD DVD? Either way, this is cool I guess, I have both players now and I'll be getting Samsung's Dual Format player by years end.

Because to people who watch movies the fact that there isn't an HD DVD based console has nothing to do with it. It's the only reason that I have both players, until there are no exclusive movies I will continue to support both formats. Sony used the PS3 as a trojan horse. I think that they would be willing to take the loss if BD becomes the standard for HD Movies.
