Yesterday it was the announcement that in response to consumer demand, Warner Bros. Entertainment will release its high-definition DVD titles exclusively in the Blu-ray disc format beginning later this year.

Today at the upcoming CES show a planned HD DVD press conference was canceled as the consortium behind the format is discussing the potential impact of this announcement and evaluating next steps.

Toshiba, masters of the HD DVD format, also issued a press release expressing their “particular disappointment” with Warner, also implying that the move to go Blu-ray exclusively is a breach of contract.

All of this continues to reinforce my belief that Blu-ray will emerge the victorious format in the end.
