Already one adult studio has seemed to have dropped HD-DVD.

Every Walmart around me carries the HD-A3. The only Bluray player they carry is the PS3.

False!!

“We are currently producing both HD DVD and Blu-ray. HD DVD is still a viable market for us and we’re selling a lot of units. There are over a million players out there, so it may be perceived as ‘dead’ in the long term, but on an immediate basis, it’s still a viable market. We will continue to grow our Blu-ray business as well, and for us, it’s going to be a smooth transition if we have to go from one to the other. For the time being, we will continue to release our movies on HD DVD. We have a good, solid customer (HD DVD) base that is buying a healthy quantity, so until that number starts coming down, we will continue supporting it.”

All the news about WB has done is kill HD-DVD software sales.

It hasn't resulted in BD player sales.

They say it will happen.

If Paramount, Universal, and say a 3rd Studio end up saying "We're sticking with HD-DVD," it may well re-affirm buyers in HD-DVD. Which would force the war on.

If HD-DVD is really going to fight this out they need to do something and fast.

Been reading here for quite some time but your posts over the last day or so made me register to reply...

This comment and your comment in the warner abandoning HD DVD thread are both pretty drastic changes in tone/optomism from yesterday. Did something happen or not happen that you were expecting to hear?
