yeah but that's a rumour
just like there were rumours warner was going hd dvd. I suppose they would've, had HD DVD paid them more than they got from BDA for bluray ($500 Mil USD?) |

| quote: | TOKYO, Jan 8 (Reuters) - Paramount studios is poised to drop its support of the high-definition DVD (HD DVD) format after Warner Bros studio said it would back the competing Blu-ray format, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
The loss of support from Paramount, which is owned by Viacom Inc (nyse: VIA - news - people ), would likely deal the final blow to the HD DVD format backed by Toshiba Corp (other-otc: TOSBF.PK - news - people ) and put an end to the format war, the newspaper said on its Web site.
Time Warner (nyse: TWX - news - people ) Inc's Warner Bros studio on Friday said it would exclusively release high-definition DVDs in Sony Corp (nyse: SNE - news - people )'s Blu-ray format, marking a major setback to the HD DVD camp.
Blu-ray discs outsold HD DVD by nearly two-to-one in the United States last year, but HD DVD had secured major allies in August when Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks Animation SKG (nyse: DWA - news - people ) Inc said they would go exclusively with HD DVD.
But Paramount is understood to have a clause in its contract with the HD DVD camp that would allow it to change sides if Warner Bros backed Blu-ray, the Financial Times said, citing people familiar with the situation. (Reporting by Nathan Layne)

wow what a coincidence, sunrise who told ps3 owners to get a 'real console' is backing hd-dvd.. no surprise there
lets face it mate bluray fits more, has a faster read rate, is outselling hd-dvd, and nearly has all the studio's support
you lose.. get the over it |

it used to... like a year ago, hd dvd supports (insignificantly) a size 1gb bigger
| quote: | | is outselling hd-dvd |
thanks to idiots and anti-competitive practice by sony? (e.g. how many months was it before hd dvd's were sold in retail in australia with all those major chains having an exclusive contract to sony)
| quote: | | nearly has all the studio's support |
yes, sadly it does, and for two reasons.
1) it's not the consumer format - studio's like that region coding is enforced - where as on hd dvd it's not (this enticed Fox to go bluray), and you can't create a backup of the disc
2) they paid out a load of money (such as in the case of warner bros, reportedly $500 million..)
| quote: | | you lose.. get the over it |
it's not over, but it is a major blow.. the rumours of paramount going bluray only too would likely to spell the end, well for movies anyways. Maybe HD DVD will become a cheap data storage format instead, who knows. but I'll certainly never get a movie in bluray. :)
so now, be constructive or stfu :tongue2 |
