 Universal - Still NO Blu Rays |
 |
Taken from www.ps3.qj.net
A lot hinges on the success of the format wars. Not least of this is the success of either the PlayStation 3 or the Xbox 360 as the winner of the format wars will stand to be the next standard format and will invariably get the majority of supporters.
Which is why when Paramount and Dreamworks decided to go HD DVD exclusive, it was an explosive bit of news. The same goes for when Warner Bros. decided to go Blu-ray exclusive. And now, Universal has announced its intention to remain HD DVD exclusive.
Universal's Ken Graffeo expressed before that the studio has no plans to support Blu-ray, but that didn't stop rumors from cropping up after Warner announced that it will go Blu-ray. Now Graffeo reasserts Universal's support for the HD DVD format:
Contrary to unsubstantiated rumors from unnamed sources, Universal's current plan is to continue to support the HD DVD format.
Graffeo is the executive vice president of HD strategic marketing for Universal Studios Home Entertainment as well as the co-president of the HD DVD Promotional Group.
A spokesperson for Universal also announced that the studio will be releasing new HD DVD titles soon. Looks like we'll still see a few developments before we'll see the end of the war.

BLU-RAY Win's !
 |
|
Now some three years into the “HD era,” the dust has started to settle on the format wars. HDTVs have steadily replaced CRTs in shop windows, and with the PS3 and 360 both offering routes to HD movie releases, the long-running Blu-ray versus HD-DVD picture is beginning to look a lot clearer.
Industry support for the formats had been fairly even until recently with the Hollywood studios supporting either, Blu-ray, HD-DVD or both. This week however has seen some high-profile studios defecting from the HD-DVD camp to release movies exclusively for Blu-ray. Warner Brothers, Paramount and New line Cinema (Mutinners?) have now switched allegiance to Blu-ray, meaning that as of this summer, all HD movie releases from these companies will only appear on Blu-ray.
The next six months aren’t exactly going to be good for HD-DVD owners either, with all Warner Bros. releases being delayed on HD-DVD until after DVD/Blu-ray release. Blu-ray has been consistently outselling its rival for the last year, and with Sony’s PS3 finding its way into more and more homes, the future is looking very worrying for Toshiba’s format.(OWNED)
While this may not be good news for Toshiba, a single format would make life a lot easier for consumers, who have so far had to choose which horse to back. |
