That would be the 2nd prediction to come true in the same no. of days. Good work! Leaving only Paramount (but not DreamWorks) and Universal supporting HD exclusively. We might be one step further to the end of the format war and thousands of people wondering whether even a $199 HD DVD Player might have been a poor investment..

In contrast, the European HD DVD team is more likely to engage in a tit-for-tat. I'm sure there'll be plenty of mud next week, though. Shows have a way of bring out the "best" from everybody.
