That said, this stinks. I didn't buy a player until they hit 100 bucks. I don't intend to do so for blu ray either. Looks like I'm in quite the HD movie drought for the next decade or so.]]>Jan 4th 2008 3:51PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/04/warner-goes-blu-ray-exclusive/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/04/warner-goes-blu-ray-exclusive/http://www.reuters.com/article/rbssConsumerGoodsAndRetailNews/idUSN0432340820080104]]>Jan 4th 2008 3:55PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/04/warner-goes-blu-ray-exclusive/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/04/warner-goes-blu-ray-exclusive/

Anyone who acts like they now have to throw away their HD DVD players or that buying into HD DVd was a waste is a fool.

All HD DVD players are still going to be high-def players and DVD upconverters until the day that they break. And this also means that should HD DVD completely die (need I remind you that Paramount and Universal are still alive and kicking for now), the discs will be sold at rock bottom prices.

HD DVD is not going to go away for a hell of a long time. It *might* be leaving store shelves (and that still not a guarantee), but it isn't going away.

Let me guess. All of those people who own laserdiscs need to regret that they still have a laserdisc player, right?]]>Jan 4th 2008 4:55PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/04/warner-goes-blu-ray-exclusive/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/04/warner-goes-blu-ray-exclusive/Jan 4th 2008 3:53PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/04/warner-goes-blu-ray-exclusive/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/04/warner-goes-blu-ray-exclusive/

Wow. I bet you're not buying DVD still huh? Guess no next gen movies for you. Statements like this don't hold for too long.]]>Jan 4th 2008 4:31PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/04/warner-goes-blu-ray-exclusive/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/04/warner-goes-blu-ray-exclusive/
Back in the day of DVD (with one format), it took about 4 years for DVD players to go from about $500 to $300. The same thing will begin to happen here.

My fear is that with prices remaining above $200 for a couple of years will turn high def video a niche format. Actually, I have thought this since it was released....now it looks like it may really be true.]]>Jan 4th 2008 8:10PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/04/warner-goes-blu-ray-exclusive/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/04/warner-goes-blu-ray-exclusive/Jan 4th 2008 3:54PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/04/warner-goes-blu-ray-exclusive/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/04/warner-goes-blu-ray-exclusive/
Say What now? :)

Now, can we PLEASE put all this behind us, end this war fast, and start enjoying ALL our movies on ONE format?

Warner's decision to go BLU was obviously made last year, and now only announcing it.

1. Format war over, check mate for blu-ray
2. Class action lawsuit against warner from the 100,000 or so people who purchased HD-DVD players after warner announced that they would continue to produce that format.
3. HDM never goes anywhere, blu-ray confuses J6P too much and players will stay too expensive without competition
