1. Comment - Paramount Switch to HD DVD Evens the Stakes

   (Aug 28, 2007 - 3:45 PM)

   Huge shock? Paramount was an exclusive HD-DVD supporter back in 2005 (actually the first to announce titles, well, ain't we happy we didn't have to see an HD-DVD with Spongebob...)and made it crystal clear from the beginning that their support for Blu-Ray was based on gigantic sales forecasts for the PS3 - which didn't happen (blame it on Nintendo's Wii, the price tag and the lackluster supply of games).
   
   A PS3 owner having 2 Blu-Ray titles doesn't create longevity in sales. The classic home theatre aficionado is favoring HD-DVD players over Blu-ray players (PS3 company excluded), he is the one creating longevity in sales figures.
   
   Certainly, the poor PS3 sales figures are not a secret to Warner Home Video. If they think along the lines of Paramount, they'll be next (returning to their original format of choice).
   My two cents: Their releases of Matrix and other goodies on HD-DVD will not see a Blu-Ray release any time soon...
