MAYBE, but HDDVD has HUGE market penetration... It will depend on how the HDDVD folks manage the marketing fight. The XBOX 360 and HD DVD players from Toshiba have both VASTLY outsold the Bluray players and PS3. Obviously content is the most important thing, but Warner doesn't bring THAT much content to the table ..... do they? What do they have besides Harry Potter? I think most people are waiting it out with upscaling dvd players and the few people who went for the HDDVD/Upscaing dvd player during the holiday sales. So it really does depend on how the HDDVD crew fights it out. But I heard they didn't make a good showing for themselves after that announcement soooo .... we'll see I disagree that HDDVD is lost– I mean, it MIGHT be dead, but I don’t think warner going pure bluray is really a death knell for it.
