Paramount: HD-DVD only

Posted on Tuesday, 21 August 2007 by Speed, source: GS

Dont' panic! Paramount will continue releasing movies on DVD, but the company did decide to drop support for Sony's Blu-ray format and only support Toshiba's HD-DVD. Only exception will be Steven Spielberg's movies which will remain available on both formats.

This comes as quite a surprise, especially with the decent sales figures Blu-ray Discs have been having lately. This exclusivity deal does show that the format wars is far from over, especially with even cheaper HD-DVD drives around the corner.

Films executive produced by Spielberg can still be HD-DVD exclusive, as Paramount said it is kicking off its platform monogamy with HD-DVD releases of Transformers, Shrek the Third, and Blades of Glory. Set to go on sale next Tuesday, Blades of Glory had originally been announced as a release for Blu-ray as well as HD-DVD.

Paramount's upcoming blockbuster set for release on HD-DVD are Transformers, Shrek 3 and Blades of Glory.

"We believe the combination of this year's low-priced HD DVD players and the commitment to release a significant number of hit titles in the fall makes HD DVD the best way to view movies at home," said DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg in a statement.

I'll wait for reasonably priced dual-format players to arrive on the market :)

I think Blu-ray screwed up by not having competitively priced players. They could have had this thing in the bag and now we are back to square one! How do these huge companies not know anything about sales? Volume is key.
