Blu-ray only movies now also in HD-DVD format |

Ó
As we all know Paramount and Dreamworks has decided to jump (exclusively) into the HD-DVD wagon, and it looks like it's not an isolated case. There's a noticeable outcropping of HD-DVD releases of movies supposed to be exclusive to Blu-ray, and some of them are even from Sony Pictures.Among many other titles, Underworld: Evolution as well as XXX from Sony Pictures have been spotted under the HD-DVD banner. As for movies from other Blu-ray exclusive studios, Disney's Reign of Fire and The Prestige was also found with the HD-DVD logo printed over their titles.
The strangest thing? There seems to be HD-DVD movies from almost every Blu-ray exclusive studios.
Why is it so? Audioholics supposes that the high cost of producing Blu-ray discs is causing the studios to jump into the HD-DVD wagon from time to time. The fact that HD-DVD is region-free may also be another reason as well.
Is this any indication of a huge development in the format wars? Do check this space often to find out.

Sony Pictures Movies on Blu-Ray: Bad Times

I hope it works both ways...

The real worry is that if this format war continues any longer neither formats will win and a different HiDef source will prevail in their place.
Probably HD steaming or some other form of mass media?

This is halarious! Even Disney has movies on HD-DVD! They're all jumping ship! Looks like sony needs to lower prices and forget that massive profit margin they were after when they decided to start this format war.
At only $300, HD-DVD players are a steal. Looks like there's going to be even more movies available for them too as they begin to win back market share.
Try to find a Universal movie on blu ray! Or how about a new Paramount/Dreamworks release...

Blu-ray should win this, has more space, and that is the only thing i could care about at the moment..

But look at that, you get "Exclusive"on Blu-Ray could also import the HD-DVD since they are not region locked. So in fact you get some region locked blue-ray movies (so only some region will have them), and the whole world hd-dvd. As soon as a movie is released somwhere else in another format than blu-ray, you can say it ain't exclusive anymore, even if it's not sold in your region.

HD-DVD are cheaper to manufactor and are also easy to code for. Thats why movies like Blood Diamond/300 have IME/web features were as Blu-ray dont have anything that comes close.
The A2 is and has been one of the best sellers at amazon for a while now.
Although no real movie studios are jumping ship yet I bet its only an amount of time before we see blu-ray exclusive coming to HD-DVD.
Its all about profit people.

BTW, from reviews I've read where they've compared the two together (using the same TVs, movies, cables etc), HD-DVD tends to come out on top for quality and features.

as for the Blu Ray-HDDVD comment... if EVER by any chance, with the most remote possiblity that HDDVD wins this... will all my current Blu Ray movies suddenly stop working on my PS3???? will my PS3 suddenly stop playing and upscaling my DVD collections??? will it out of the blue quit reading my Blu Ray Games??? will all my Blu Ray disk evaporate into nothingness when this happens???
newsflash hotshot... my collection stays... and one more thing Blu Ray is far from losing against HDDVD... so "Oh No Quixand what will you do?"... i guess buy more movies for my collection.
