Warner Bros. Adopt Blu-ray, HD-DVD Crippled

Another major film studio has chosen sides in the first format battle of this millennium. Warner has decided to use the Blu-ray disc as their sole next-generation format.

Soon after the announcement, the HD-DVD group canceled a foo-foo L.A. cocktail party. It's thought that HD-DVD was in last-minute negotiations with Warner, but eventually lost. Is this a sign of the death of HD-DVD? Let's hope so, because I need to find out what I can replace my Betamax with.
