Now I agree with the OP. Even if Warner played both sides, it appears that Paramount got a big pay off without really facing any consequences, other than a tiny amount of revenue loss from selling on HD-DVD and not on Blu for four months. They even have a whole backload of titles on Blu-ray ready to ship! How can you argue Warner got a better deal?
