Yep... they cancelled a 2 hour press conference

There's a rumor floating around that Warner was about to go HD DVD exclusive provided Fox would defect (either going neutral or HD DVD-exclusive). When Fox backed up, Warner instead decided to jump to Blu-ray in an attempt to end the format war. Toshiba might have gotten backstabbed at the last minute on this one.

I'm very curious how close Fox came to defecting or how seriously they took the "offer"; especially since they are big fans of BD+ and region coding which is not available on HD DVD.
