Warner Goes to Sony

Christopher Cookson has been named the new president of Sony Pictures Technologies.

Cookson, who was chief technical officer as well as president of the Warner Bros. Technical Operations division, will oversee the development and implementation of Sony's technology policy and processes. Cookson holds more than 30 U.S. patents, including several involving DVDs.

And I suppose you see this as a sign that Warner is going Blu-ray exclusive... care to explain the logic.

The Hollywood Reporter found this story important enough to report. You can make your own conclusions. Obviously Sony believes Christopher Cookson will bring good things for Blu-ray and the development technology division.

.... that the above subject is STUPID. Another thread to instigate FANBOY RANTS. Gee, I wonder which side he's on.... hmmmm. Don't answer that. Rhetorical.

Can someone please post USEFUL THREADS regarding USEFUL INFORMATION, besides REPEATED topics... regarding this wasted FORMAT WAR?

Execs change companies all the time, and when they are big companies it makes the news. This is just a story about an exec changing companies, that's all it is. Show me where there is anything related to Warner's, not it's former exec's, stance on Blu-ray/HD DVD.

If and when there is any actual news stories showing some actual evidence that Warner is going Blu-ray exclusive please post it. But this is even more unrelated than the previous stuff you Blu-ray fanboys have posted, and you were grasping at straws then.

xplaytendo,

This is not a repeated topic it is today's news. If you don't find it interesting why are you commenting? Obviously you consider this bad news for HD DVD, a conclusion you have made all by yourself.

the_dvd_chef,

I guess you can't read. Cookson began his career with Warners in 1992 he doesn't change compaines all the time.
You HD DVD fanatics are killing me. You are truly upset about this news. I love it!


one good picture deserves another.

And another...

Perhaps the Exec was a BD shill. Then good he gone and not pushing a studio to BD exclusive.
