hm. Sounds like a newspaper headline from the Sun, but yes, Warner Bros have officially announced that they will only be supporting the Blu-ray High Def format alongside standard DVD from May. At that point no new HD-DVDs will be made for Warner releases.

This must make Sony very happy, especially after the whole Dreamworks/Univeral move to HD-DVD.

Does this mean the format war is over? Not yet, but Warner is a very big player with a huge back catalogue. It also means Blu-ray owners will hopefully get former HD-DVD only titles such as Batman Begins.
