First Warner Bros. BD-Live Discs to Arrive in Christmas Stockings
Warner, the studio that sunk HD DVD's ship as it climbed aboard Blu-ray's, will be one of the slowest to jump on BD-Live, Blu-ray's online interactive content. Its BD-Live discs will arrive around Christmastime, with features like real-time viewing (?), a search engine, library access, and a recommendation tool—all pretty boring compared to Fox's BD-Live plans, which include a multiplayer game for Alien vs. Predator. None of the titles are named yet, but hopefully they come up with something more awesome for The Dark Knight, which would be hitting around that time. [High-Def Digest]

Watch Full Episodes of Friends, Scooby Doo and The Batman Online for Free
Warner Bros. is jumping into the online video arena next month with a pair of sites, thewb.com and kidswb.com, which will show full episodes of its biggest series, like Friends and Smallville on the former, and stuff like Bugs Bunny, Scooby Doo and Batman (hopefully Paul Dini's brilliant and amazing original animated series, not The Mediocre Batman) on the latter. It'd probably have made more sense for them to join Hulu, but Warner's probably not keen on splitting the ad dollars. If there's enough content, it could become a real destination, but we're guessing you'll still have to go to YouTube for "Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarves." [Yahoo]

Rumor: Warner Bros. Going All Blu-ray at CES
Following up on the rumor that Warner Bros. was going exclusively Blu-ray from October, BusinessWeek has their own speculation that Warner Bros. will be swapping to the Sony side. The rumor stems from a quote from Lionsgate vice-chairman Michael Burns (who may or may not know what he thinks he knows) who says "The rumor is Warner is coming aboard soon." Not much else substantiates this rumor other than the quote, but who knows, maybe Burns knows someone calling the Blu-ray/HD DVD shots over at Warner. [BusinessWeek]

Warner Bros. Considering Blu-ray Exclusivity
Warner Bros., the last major studio supporting both Blu-ray and HD DVD formats, may be ditching HD DVD to bet on Blu-ray. (Take that, Paramount.) Even in the wake of a sub-$199 HD DVD player, Warner Home Video VP Dan Silverberg had this to say about the company's outlook on the format wars: More »

Warner Bros. to Use BitTorrent to Distribute Movies
The BitTorrent peer-to-peer system as for warez, right? Not according to Warner Bros. Entertainment Group, which signed a deal to start using BitTorrent this summer to distribute movies and television shows. According to BitTorrent officials, the Warner moviemakers are fascinated with the filesharing technology. The company plans to release movies on BitTorrent the same day those titles are shipped on DVD. Says Kevin Tsujihara, president of the Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group:"If we can convert 5, 10, 15 percent of the peer-to-peer users that have been obtaining our product from illegitimate sources to becoming legitimate buyers of our product, that has the potential of a huge impact on our industry and our economics."
But we're thinking these movies and TV shows will be so completely wrapped up in DRM it might be a problem unraveling it all once you get them onto your hard drive. The movies and shows will reportedly be available for as little as one dollar, but even at that low cost, it's still going to be hard to compete with free. More »
