 More fallout from Warner Bros. announcement that they are going Blu Ray exclusive: the HD DVD Promotional Group has cancelled their CES conference that was scheduled for the eve of the show on January 6.
The following was sent to press and invited guests of the conference via email late Friday (thanks to High Def Digest for posting the text):
Based on the timing of the Warner Home Video announcement today,
we have decided to postpone our CES 2008 press conference scheduled for
Sunday, January 6th at 8:30 p.m. in the Wynn Hotel. We apologize for
any inconvenience this may cause.
We are currently discussing the potential impact of this
announcement with the other HD DVD partner companies and evaluating
next steps. We believe the consumer continues to benefit from HD DVD’s
commitment to quality and affordability – a bar that is critical for
the mainstream success of any format. The HD DVD camp's surprise at the Warner move seems genuine at this point. More on this story as it continues to develop.
