Choose Bluray, not HD-DVD!

Today (about 3 hours ago) it was announced, that Warner Brothers - one of the early backers of HD DVD - have now chosen to exclusively back Bluray! :-)

Links to the announcement can be found here:

This just might be the beginning of the end of the format war. Joy to all us owners of PS3/BD players!

Personally I'd like to see Dreamworks/Paramount move to Bluray as well. Movies like Shrek the Third should definitely be on Bluray.
You can sign a couple of online petitions here:

BTW: If you're interested in Bluray and a Java developer, you should read about BD-J:
