With more and more news like this, I'm beginning to feel that it's the end for HD-DVD. I've been a staunch supporter of the HD-DVD format ever since it was released, and I currently own the HD-DVD drive for the Xbox 360. But...almost everyday I see more and more movies that I want to see coming out exclusively on Blu-ray and fewer and fewer for HD-DVD. While I thought that some more studios would switch sides or go both ways, it seems that the argument that Blu-ray has more exclusive studios which equals more exclusive content is coming into fruition. I won't mind if Blu-ray wins, I just want one format to win as fast as possible so I won't waste a bunch of money on an obsolete format.
Curse the format war.
