Don't be surprised to see significant movement detrimental to HD DVD interests.
Dual inventories and unresolved HD format wars won't help B&M retail stores' desire to use HD formats to maintain software revenue streams. Blockbuster has already made the move, can BB/CC be that far behind ?
And Universal has to know they can end the format war by going format neutral. Maintaining exclusivity and prolonging the "war" only means fewer people will be less willing to adopt HD. Or maybe they think HD VOD has higher revenue-generating potential ?
