Warner Bros. Goes Blu-Ray Exclusive

Thats right blu people. Warner Brothers has gone blu-ray exclusive. According to Barry Meyer, the Chairman & CEO, this was decided to bring an end to the format war. "The window of opportunity for high-definition DVD could be missed if format confusion continues to linger," he stated.

Warner Bros. will continue supporting HD DVD until May 2008. After that, their world will be blu (if it were green, they would die).
