Yes, here’s yet another scratch in the catfight that is next generation DVD. Warner Brothers has decided to release DVDs in Blu-ray as well as the HD-DVD format. This follows Paramount Home Entertainment’s decision last month to also support both Sony- and Toshiba-backed formats. Because Warner Brothers had formerly backed just HD-DVD, this is a big score for Blu-ray. Of course, playing both sides of the fence is the easy way to go, so we’ll see what happens once the actual hardware is sitting on shelves—hopefully by early next year.
