With Warner Bros choosing Blu-ray for their High Definition format, and Micheal Bay openly admitting that he is all for Blu-ray and always has been it seems that Blu-ray has won the format war.   Warner Bros is going to continue doing HD-DVDs until may but after that then its all over.  There are still a few who are HD-DVD loyal but not many. I read on the Forbes Site that

“WB execs contend that the competing formats create confusion that is keeping either format from mass acceptance. But, they say Blu-ray has been the clear consumer winner so far and going with that format makes the most sense going forward.”

This does upset me. Why?  Well  The way I see it this is not true. Disney has always done just Blu-ray, another point as to why their more popular. There are a lot of parents who want the quality and with no other choice what are they to do.  Get a Blu-ray player and get the DVDs.  I think that is a huge part of why Blu-rays were being bought for movies like Cars and Pirates of the Caribbean.  There for Yes, more of their Blu-ray movies were sold when given the choice since people were getting them for the movies that Only came out on it.

I say why not have movies on Both formats. Is the price really that much more?  If their Blu-ray sales are higher then make more of them but still make the HD DVDs.  It makes more sence to me.

What about those people who only own an HD player and cant afford a Blu-ray at this point what they are stuck with  the normal DVDs with less quality and options.   Fair? I think Not.

So Do you have a  a Favorite Format?
