Paramount & Time Warner go Blu-Ray due to PS3
« on: October 05, 2005, 06:56:36 PM »
Paramount

Quote
Paramount Pictures, a company that was previously exclusively backing HD-DVD as the format to replace the DVD, has announced it will also be supporting the rival format, Blu-Ray. Apparently a major reason for the switch in support was the Playstation 3, which will include a next-gen Blu-Ray drive at release.

Warner Bros

Quote
Warner Brothers is poised to raise the stakes in what has become a pitched battle over the next generation of digital videodisks, or DVDs. Warner Brothers is expected to throw its weight behind a new generation of high-definition DVDs sponsored by long-time rival Sony (SNE ), BusinessWeek Online has learned....

...Last November, Warner along with Paramount, Universal and New Line Cinema, had said they would provide their movies to the HD DVD disks. For now, Warner would declare "nonexclusive" support for Blu-ray, meaning it could theoretically produce films in both formats.

Still, the support for Blu-ray would indicate Warner Brothers is no longer convinced Toshiba and HD is the only way to go, and it leaves open the prospect of exclusive backing for Blu-ray. Paramount on Oct. 2 said it would make its movies in both formats. Microsoft (MSFT ) and Intel (INTC ), meantime, have thrown their weight behind the Toshiba-led group backing HD DVD...

Sounds good to me :bounce:  Universal better wise up fo\' they get dealt wit

No.  Expect DVD to be around for at least another five years.

I still don\'t think the general public is goin\' to give a rat\'s ass about Blu-Ray, but this will help Sony win that format war.

It wasn\'t until the last year or two that DVD sales finally overtook VHS.  Don\'t worry about the new formats killing off DVD overnight, it\'ll be years.

When you walk into a Blockbuster store, you can tell the VHS/DVD war is over. Shitty DVDRs have to be more reliable and affordable before the cassettes are history though.
