Since this may be the case, I'm off to do some impulse buying

? It's my best guess. I really don't care, I'm neutral. Although it does suck I just bought both players 2 months ago. Luckily I have not spent much on HD-DVDs.

I will never buy support anything else in HD again....
Wont be getting an HD TV, will never buy blu-ray or another Hd film. Fuck them all.
Standard def (and my 10 Hd-DVD movies) will be the only way I go. And if Wb starts putting prominent special Features exclusvely on Blu-ray. My movie collecting days are done. This is how they treat me then fuck them. They wont see anymore monry from me.

For some reason it reminds me of the scene from the Blues Brothers of Elwood and Jake with the chicken wire in front of them.

Its over for HD DVD, plain and simple. Oh well. I'll curb my WB buying to Blu yet continue to buy new HD DVD movies as usual. This should have happened before Christmas... Returns will start soon. Harry potter owners will be pissed. Clearance sales will ne nice though. Time to buy an XA2!
Unless something huge happens for HD DVD...Sony won. Ugh

Well, it's time HD DVD people to begin letter writing and phone calls to Warner. Let them know that after May, you won't be buying ANY of their releases, standard or BluRay.
I don't think the war is over, not with the influx of cheap players coming later in the year. HD can still win this with their price advantage. Get enough players out there, and the studios will support it. That's what the PS3 did for Blu, HD just needs these sub $100 players from China to make their way over. But obviously this is a huge blow.
