Warner Bros. has been neutral in the Blu-ray-HD DVD disc war, releasing movies in both high-def formats.
However, that policy may be changing, says a top Warner executive.
Dan Silverberg, Warner's vice president of High-Definition media, hinted Monday at a Blu-ray briefing for the media that the studio might soon endorse Blu-ray.
this could be huge. im still yet to decide who to back.
I've bought over 21 movies on the format so far and Spiderman Trilogy was the latest. BD is a sure fire bet. I hope WB goes BD only. that's a big win for Team Blu-ray and me.
I hope that Blue ray wins so I don't have to go out and buy a HD-DVD player. Mind you, if HD-DVD do win...I won't bother getting a player.
If Warner go Blu-ray, it seems unlikely the format will lose in the long-term, especially with PS3 support. After all, every PS3 sold brings another potential Blu-ray customer into the market.
Obviously, as a PS3 owner, I would like to see Blu-ray succeed, but nothing looks certain yet, other than the fact that Blu-ray discs are currently selling very well.
Warner could consolidate that lead if it was sufficiently tempted to go with Blu-ray exclusivly. That said, without anything solid, I'll remain in the skeptical camp regarding it ever happening.
But my pick is still BD!
