Your scenario is quicker than mine, which you thought was too quick.

Warners will not make a decision to go one way or the other with that scenario that quickly. They'll stick it out as is because they are all setup to do both already. The initial setup is the expense, the manufacturing afterward is not. The manufacturing of hi-def discs is not much more than standard DVDs, I'm talking about maybe pennies per disc at most. If they're ready to do both, they'll do both and keep the wait and see attitude.

There's also a possibility that both can exist side-by-side should technology move forward on dual-players and make them inexpensive, but I see that as a bit of a stretch.
