Reuters are syaying that Warner is going Blu. They claim that there will be an announcement very soon. This is a pretty big claim and I don't thnk they would make it without being fairly certain it is going to happen. Could the format war now be over?

Ladies and gentlemen, the death blow to HD-DVD. As much as I dislike Sony, it looks like they've won this time.

Bloomberg have also picked up this story. It is looking more certain now. Some people are claiming the official announcement will be made in the next 2 hours.

Warner was HD-DVD exclusive to begin with but then went Neutral. they have one of the biggest title libraries of all the studios so who they which ever side they go with gets a huge advantage.

Wow! This could be the final straw that makes HD-DVD become extinct! It's much better for the consumer to only have one format to deal with, and it looks like that format will be Blu-ray :D
