   Me either. I bought the BR HD DVD JUST before the Warner announcement   
   that they were dropping HD DVD came. Up at that point it seemed the 2   
   formats were kind of neck and neck and co exist be around for a while.   
      
   Now it definitely seems dead, and I guess stuff that is currently HD DVD   
   exclusive will make it to blu ray.   
      
   Since the universe actually revolves around me, I'm pretty sure I caused   
   Blu Ray to win by buying BR on HD DVD. Luckily I only invested in the   
   disc, not any player. Oh well, no big loss, and who knows, the HD DVD   
   might be a collector's item one day. Wish I'd left it shrink wrapped.
