I wouldn't write off HD DVD just yet.

I have two HD DVD players, the Toshiba and the Xbox 360 add-on. I also own about 90 HD DVD movies. I am more about the movies, and will probably buy a Blu-Ray player soon so I can enjoy all the High Def selections. I just want to say that I am not really in either camp, even though it sounds like my allegiance is with Red. I would say I am Purple.

I think that J6P doesn't follow these news bits, and is oblivious to what is happening. The early adopters are going crazy from both camps on AVS Forum with the prior announcement of Paramount, and now the Warner announcement. The price drop of HD DVD may mean the continuation of this format war because J6P will see these HD players selling at Walmart and other stores for about the same price as an upconverting DVD player. The numbers will show the studios that HD DVD is selling well and they may switch or become neutral.

The worst case scenario is that if HD DVD does fall, then I still can keep and play these movies on my player. It also acts as a great upconverting DVD player.

All I am saying is that it's not over until every studio is on one side or the other.
