If I remember correctly, last year many HD DVD fans were extremely disappointed with CES. I recall many openly thought that Fox would be wooed over, or something like that. Many BD fans were despondent when Paramount/DreamWorks dumped BD support.
Warner did crap on Toshiba's parade, but expecting some saber rattling statement was not going to happen.
Probably lots of dealing will be done in the next few weeks with Toshiba either looking to cut its losses or fight on.
As the spokesperson said (yesterday?), "We've been declared dead before." 'Course, that might be a lot closer now then it has ever been!
