In response to consumer demand, Warner Bros. Entertainment will release its high-definition DVD titles exclusively in the Blu-ray disc format beginning later this year, it was announced today by Barry Meyer, Chairman & CEO, Warner Bros. and Kevin Tsujihara, President, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group.

"Warner Bros.' move to exclusively release in the Blu-ray disc format is a strategic decision focused on the long term and the most direct way to give consumers what they want," said Meyer. "The window of opportunity for high-definition DVD could be missed if format confusion continues to linger. We believe that exclusively distributing in Blu-ray will further the potential for mass market success and ultimately benefit retailers, producers, and most importantly, consumers."

I'm glad I waited before picking sides, this gives me good reason to pick up a PS3.

This sucks... But I don't care because now I have The Big Lebowski on HD-DVD. :D

I just put my HD-DVD player back into my Entertainment center after removing it for 3 months to use somewhere else. I will not buy Blu-Ray until the players come down in price.
