Is this a hoax?

tcarcio · 09-26-2007, 06:26 PM

I don't have an account at Blu Ray .com but maybe some of you do. It is being reported there that at 10am tommorrow morning Warner is announcing they will be going BR exclusive. I for one don't see why they would but do any of you know anything about this.

SOBAY310 · 09-26-2007, 06:28 PM

I would say it's not true.

They just mentioned they would be releasing two different "Best of HD DVD" bundles.

borromini · 09-26-2007, 06:34 PM

From what I've heard, bluray.com hasn't necessarily been a source for accurate info.

tcarcio · 09-26-2007, 06:34 PM

It is all over HDD. They are going nuts over there.

KEEBS1984 · 09-26-2007, 06:40 PM

While I don't believe it. . .

I won't count it out as being impossible. If P/DW can go HD DVD exclusive then why wouldn't Warner be able to go Blu Ray exclusive?

In anycase that is neither here, nor there. One random forum post is not news. . . Warner Press Releases are.

They are also are saying the Transformers is still coming out on Blu-ray????????????? Wishful thinking for the little blu men in the sea.....

High def digest just released gift sets for both formats of Harry Potter They are suitcases with the movies inside. Check it out on news in so hopefully its not true

Stew4HD · 09-26-2007, 07:26 PM

Even if it is true, it would only continue to be as things are now, would not be the end of HD DVD, as they are saying over there on Blurray.com. I would avoid this site like the plague if it is true though.. those bloo boys will be over here gloating their asses off.

It wouldn't make sense for them to go BD exclusive but if enough money is flaunted, who knows what can happen, right?

Look at my avatar. Need I say more, Warner will never go BD exclusive, not with $199 HD DVD players coming & the HD-A2 player is the hottest Hi Def player sold in all of North America

No, they are going to make a move in the Q1 2008.

sns_guy · 09-26-2007, 07:44 PM

It will be interesting to see how dumb they feel over there when it doesn't happen. But if it does happen I know I'll feel pretty dumb!!

Posts: 8 Warner Going Blu-ray Exclusive (Rumor)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,
I'm happy to announce that tomorrow 10AM PST Warner will issue a press release announcing they are going Blu-ray exclusive. I know many of you will not believe me and think this is simply a joke (which I dont blame you for) but I ask you one thing :
-Wait till tomorrow and see what happens. If the announcement doesn't come through, you can blame me all you want and ban me from the site.
Again I'm going to expect alot of doubful comments (or maybe some not nice ones ) coming but I'm fine with it. I'm some one you guys already know (and perhaps you have read my posts before ).
As for those folks willing to have a bit more faith in me, let me give you some insights for tomorrow's announcement :

-Tomorrow Warner will announce going Blu-ray exclusive. However they will honor their commitment to HD DVD (unlike Paramount to Blu-ray) and release all the titles that were promised this year. Starting 2008, Warner will release only in Blu-ray Disc format.
-Waner will release all the previously exclusive HD DVD titles on Blu-ray by end of Q2 2008.
-The first Blu-ray live title (including PiP) from warner will release early 2008.
-As for their joint promotion with Toshiba regarding bundling 300 with 3rd generation Blu-ray players, the offer will expire December 2007.
-New Line will also go Blu-ray exclusive starting 2008 (Hairspray hint anyone?)
-One big catalogue title will be released exclusive on Blu-ray by Q2 2008. I believe Peter Jackson has something to do with that title

Tomorrow 10AM Pacific Time. For those of you who will think I'm not telling the truth or being stupid, I respect that opinion. But coming tomorrow when Warner announces exclusivity, all of you have to send me a Blu-ray movie as a bonus .

And here is the link, you know what to do O.K.

It looks like most of the posters on that thread over there see it as BS too.. but are very hopeful. Seeing is believing, they say.

The guy that posted it there did it as his/her first thread. The he mentions that some has seen his posts before??

Dare · 09-26-2007, 08:02 PM

I will be astonished if WB goes BD exclusive. The HD-DVD players are cheaper, the discs cost less to manufacture, they're easier to program, player sales are stronger than BD players... every point makes HD-DVD the logical choice if they were to choose one. My bet is that tomorrow comes and goes and nothing happens. Either that, or there's something to the exclusivity rumors, and the game of Telephone made that rumor turn into BD exclusive.
