The combination of Paramount and DreamWorks Animation brings a critical mass of current box office hits to consumers with a line-up of live action and animated films that are perfect for HD DVD... Part of our vision is to aggressively extend our movies beyond the theater, and deliver the quality and features that appeal to our audience. I believe HD DVD is not only the affordable high quality choice for consumers, but also the smart choice for Paramount. |

» As great as this is...
Umm, this is good seeing as how I love when Sony gets shot down. "Blu ray has already won"...right.....just like Betamax and UMD :p.
anyway though, why is this in the 360 section? If anything this should be in the Ps3 section as its a mandatory blu ray player, and 360 owners have a choice. You need a media.qj.net or something.

Wouldn't it be funny if the HD-DVD promotion group would come out and say HD-DVD takes the victory, kinda like the blu ray association did with blu ray?
Even though technically I have a blu ray player now there's no movies I would pay $25-$35 for and the blockbastard video by my house doesn't stock any yet.
But like I said before, I don't care too much about the format war, I have HD satellite with recorder.

stupidity, why jump over from a large well maintained high capacity cruise ship to a sinking yacht?
bluray prices (production and retail will) be lower once support comes pouring in. these idiot companies are the ones to blame for slow price reductions.
heck why choose format, it is always wiser to support both because your company will profit whichever format the consumer chooses.
and to these companies, i think your market analysts are paid under the table, here in japan there is almost non-existent support for HD-DVD, each and every store in narita (and mostly all over japan) has Bluray layers and movies.

"blockbastard"
LOL. Nice play on words, if not too imaginative. I have a Blockbuster MoviePass. The only reason I have that is because I do see a large number of movies per month and would like to pay a constant amount for that rather than something that varies. Also, with Online renting (like Blockbuster Online or Netflix), you might not get the movies exactly when you need them, like say Friday or Saturday.
By the way, the nearest Blockbuster that keeps Blu-rays is nearly 45 minutes away, and I don't want to go that far for a movie, however hi-def it might be. I do buy Blu-rays though (have to keep my purchases within reason though, what with a kid on the way :)), but I shop around (online and in-stores) and usually am able to get all my Blu-rays from between 20-25 dollars, tax included.

All major studios are backing Blu Ray except Universal, and now Paramount decide to go HD-DVD? Something seems odd, it's like they want this war to carry on as it means more money spent on films over all. It's unfair that studios are being exclusive, this is films we're talking about not petty games. Unless all companies support one or go Multi, HD is going to be in Trouble.

wow, history really does repeat itself. Back in the day (i know most of you are too young to remember, but) betamax actually had most of the studios. But after a while they started losing them due to the high production costs of bm compared to vhs. And of course, once the adult film industry realized they could sell more using vhs over betamax, they made the switch and cause the whole deck of cards to come tumbling down for betamax.
this is almost the exact same situation. if we see more studios hop over to HD, Bluray could be in some serious trouble in the near future.
im not supporting hddvd or bluray since dvds are cheaper than both and im not THAT big of a movie fan. but considering almost all of sonys formats have failed, im pretty sure this one will be no different. they just need to stop trying to push new formats for all their products and just concentrate on today.

You make it sound like no other businesses open there wallet to push their product. Sony does the same thing with it's products. Plus the payment made is small considering how much these companies stand to gain for HD movies down the track. Personally I like the format war (damn 'm gonna get flamed for that, lol) because it's forcing prices down quicker. Even if there was one format the players and movies would still be crap anyway. Too expensive. If you want us to use your DRM infested crap atleast make it the same price as DVD, else piss off.

The console war is one thing I think is good because it brings out the best but a format war only hurts us. We are the consumers and we really do have a collective voice and should use it. on another note I would truly be dissapointed if microsoft had a hand in this. extending this format war hurts their own install base as well. Im not saying sony is innocent of all things but Microsoft has been proven to steal things in the past, begining with windows.

and among all the players in this format war, primarily Toshiba and Sony, it is only Microsoft who would benefit from the delay due to mentioned reasons... the other two companies has a lot riding on this that's why they want to win this war so even if Sony is heading in the direction that Microsoft has already taken (downloads) they can ill afford to lose out to HDDVD.

I think there are 3 main reasons HD movie players aren't taking off.
1. Prices are still too high for players and movies.
2. The format war has many people on the fence and many movies aren't available in both formats.
3. DVD just came out around 7 years ago and many people aren't ready to upgrade yet. VHS was around for over 20 years before DVD.
As for me I don't care too much either. If a movie I really like comes out I may buy it, but I don't buy many movies anyway. I like DVDs priced $5-$10 myself.

That's the price range I wish for as well - almost never happens though. And I like movies (and TV shows like Monk, Simpsons, Futurama, 24, etc) a bit too much to hold off until they fall THAT much in price.

» So begins the rise of HD DVD
This is great news for HD DVD after being outsold by Blu Ray 2:1 all year. With potential exclusives such as Transformers and Shrek the Third, HD may close the gap over the holiday season.
I believe the deciding factor in the format 'war' will be when one of the current exclusive supporters goes neutral. If Fox and/or Disney go neutral it will be a massive blow for Blu Ray, if Universal goes neutral it will be almost over for HD DVD.

» well.. if I would be...
if I would be paramount/dreamworks i would do it like this.
Get 50 to 100 mill from M$ or Toshiba or whoever paid it. Make a big announcement and some advertiesement (rough costs of about 10 mill). And after 2-3 months, I would declare HD DVD as failed and jump back to BD.
They never made an easy 40 mill like that before...
