While this might be a bold statement, all things point to this. Blu-Ray was
already winning in market share slowly but surely, and today's Warner decision
to go BD-only puts the final nails into this HD format war as Warner is the biggest movie distributor. The HD-DVD Group didn't seem to know about Warner's decision and they
canceled their CES conference out of the blu tonight, amidst making vague references to possible legal action.
My take: I wish Blu-Ray had a region-free policy like HD-DVD does. Living in USA today but one day moving to Europe, it will have an impact in my media library.

I, for one, am not surprised. Seems Sony gamble on the PS3's has indeed worked, they have nearly all the players.
