The only thing that could change where they are heading next year is a massive payoff from Microshiba far exceeding the one Paramount received.
Also, this is not an "HD DVD Propaganda Group event" - it is CES, however it is only logical that Warner would not announce exclusivity at the press conference being held by the HD DVD PG. It is also logical that Warner can change their plans to appear at either side's press conference at any time.

That is why they are presenting at CES for the hddvd prg, LOL!!!!!

Please feel free to post the link that says they are presenting at the bluray press conference, LOL!!!!

Seriously it is an idiot argument. Anyone with an IQ of 50 can figure that out.

The biggest HDM title is "300" on Blu-ray.
This is not a disputable fact, sorry.

You're dreaming if you've read a post of mine that suggested they would.

What's the matter PRO? Cat got your tongue?

You've stated that only Blu does BOGO and the biggest selling HDM of all time is an HD DVD, you said that anyone with an IQ of 50 could figure this much out....yet....both these things are wrong as I've shown -- do you have a rebuttal or do you stand corrected? Perhaps before you make quips about necessary IQ levels, rocket science and idiocy you might want to verify the facts?
