Universal, Paramount seals Blu-ray sweep Posted by XanTium | 21-2-2008 15:37 EST

From hollywoodreporter.com: [QUOTE] All six major Hollywood studios are now in the Blu-ray Disc camp, a day after Toshiba has pulled the plug on HD DVD and Blu-ray became effectively the only next-gen game in town. Paramount Home Entertainment quietly came onboard via a statement sent exclusively to The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday: "We are pleased that the industry is moving to a single high-definition format, as we believe it is in the best interest of the consumer," the statement reads. "As we look to (begin) releasing our titles on Blu-ray, we will monitor consumer adoption and determine our release plans accordingly." Universal Studios Home Entertainment, in contrast, cast its lot with Blu-ray within hours of Toshiba's announcement Tuesday morning that it was ending the format war by ceasing the development, manufacture and marketing of HD DVD players by the end of March. Universal made a big splash with its announcement, sending media outlets a statement from division president Craig Kornblau in which he said, "While Universal values the close partnership we have shared with Toshiba, it is time to turn our focus to releasing new and catalog titles on Blu-ray."

Serenity on Blu-Ray and I will finally be able to give my HD-DVD player to my graveyard of useless technology I have piled up in the basement.

What are the odds that these companies would offer a trade in program for any hd-dvds you have purchased that the release on Blu-Ray? You know.. just cover the shipping chargers and maybe a 5 dollar handling fee =]

What a beautiful dream world i live in.
