Warner Bros. goes Blu-ray exclusive

Filed under: — adam @ 12:15 pm

Warner Bros., one of the big dual-format holdouts in HD video, announced yesterday that they’re switching to Blu-ray only as of May 2008, abandoning HD DVD. The format war isn’t quite “over” yet, but this is a significant victory for Blu-ray.

This leaves Paramount as the only major studio still backing HD DVD [update: oops, Universal too.].

    Unless something changed in the last couple of days or hours, Universal still backs HD DVD exclusively as they have from the start.
