Just read this on the BBC News Dot.Life blog (http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/technolog..._trouble.html:)

"Is HD-DVD in trouble?

The unsurprising news that film studio Warner has ditched high definition format HD DVD to now sit exclusively with Blu-ray is already causing shockwaves.

The rumours had been circling for weeks and yesterday Warner confirmed it was changing its platform neutral stance to exclusive support for Blu-ray.

It's the latest blow for HD DVD in the battle for pre-eminence in the hi-def DVD war. With two incompatible formats, it was always going to be a bloody battle.

The North American HD DVD promotion group - effectively Toshiba and Microsoft - has now cancelled its scheduled press conference at CES."


I think I'll put off getting an Xbox HD-DVD drive for a little bit longer.
