Well, It looks pretty likely that HD-DVD has lost the generation wars. After Warner went Blu-Ray exclusive it was looking more and more likely but to add to that the HD-DVD group has cancelled all interviews and their main keynote. The PR people are apparently avoiding calls from news organizations.

So, Blu-Ray is pretty much the winner. I am quite disappointed, HD-DVD was region free and allowed both DVD and HD-DVD readable discs. On the other hand I don't envision either being important. I think digital video files are the way forward anyway.
