[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 3976073, member: 4779"] Yeah, it was a good plan on their part. I'd like to see other franchises do this in the future, if possible. I didn't get the list here (and didn't save the link) but this is a pretty good site for HD news RE: HD-DVD & BR. [url]http://www.highdefdigest.com/[/url] And yeah, it appears that New Line is coming over to BR, but they weren't part of the WB deal and made the choice separately. Here's just a list of the WB films, not counting any of the other studios they own: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Warner_Bros._films[/url] Which are linked here: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros[/url]. I'll just disagree here. The amount of crossover between movie watchers and gamers is huge. And the cheaper players to date haven't helped HD-DVD very much. Now that the holiday season is past it will be hard to play catch up. The problem is where are they going to get their content from? Disney, Sony, WB, not to mention many others have exclusivity deals on BR. A cheaper player will be fine but if folks don't have much of a selection to choose from it won't matter. It will also start to effect what stores stock as well. This is assuming BR players don't come down in comparable price. The industry would be silly to not be competitive and put an end to all the confusion. Typically, these kinds of things are really decided during the holiday shopping season. The way I see it, the two formats have all of 2008 to decide this thing by offering promos (like have already been popping up like crazy for both!), slashing prices and advertising. HD-DVD has an uphill battle ahead of it and it's quite possible that without WB they are already dead in the water. Will be interesting to see how it plays out. [/QUOTE]
