And the winner is Sony’s Blu-ray. In a shocking move, Warner Bros. Entertainment has decided to produce movies in only Blu-ray format beginning in May. That leaves Paramount as the last major studio to make HD DVDs.

In response to consumer demand, Warner Bros. Entertainment will release its high-definition DVD titles exclusively in the Blu-ray disc format beginning later this year, it was announced today by Barry Meyer, Chairman & CEO, Warner Bros. and Kevin Tsujihara, President, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group.

Just when you thought HD DVD was making some progress, Warner deals a fatal blow to the format. And right before CES begins in Las Vegas too. The news was so shocking to the HD DVD promotional group, that they canceled their pre-Consumer Electronics Show Press Conference. With almost no studio support left, who will buy a HD DVD? It doesn’t even matter who has the better format now. In the end, the studios made the decision for the consumers – or maybe it was the consumers who made the decision with their wallets.
