Warner Bros. Joins Sony's Blu-ray Camp

Hewlett-Packard may be wavering on its Blu-ray support, but Warner Bros. and its Warner Home Video division said on Thursday they will release movies in Sony's high-definition DVD format. Warner will also continue to support HD DVD as previously announced.

Warner Home Video will prepare titles, including DVDs from HBO and New Line, for the launch of Blu-ray in North America, Japan and Europe next year. In a statement, Toshiba said it was "more than confident" that Warner's support of Blu-ray will not affect its HD DVD release schedule.
