At last Paramount finally gone back to Blu!!!!

[AthlonXP1800]

Now the whole Hollywood studios are behind Blu-ray.

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."

So is anyone left on the red team, or does that mean that everyone has switched over?

When Toshiba dropped HD DVD ummm that pretty much means that the whole movie industry is going to move to Blu-Ray. :headexplode: :headexplode:

[Gregor976]

I'm just glad to see 1 standard emerge. All the negatives on Blu-Ray are just software that can be improved/fixed.

Now we will see that 1% adoption rate skyrocket over the next couple years.
I know many, many people who were just waiting for there to be only one. :)

Well not necessarly. They can still make HD-DVD discs if they want and then go back to DVD discs. I was just wondering if all of the major studios have officially announced they will make blu-ray discs or if they haven't decided yet. They may try another form of distribution.

yay, now bring transformers, sweeney todd, cloverfield, and others. :D

also repoted in UK that blu-ray adopation rate has gone up 700% since toshiba's announcement.

also it's reported the production for blu-ray has gone down so we'll be seeing cheaper players soon.

unlikely. the post was probably in response your thinly veiled attempt to downplay the surge in Blu-ray player sales.

wow, another person who doesnt understand the concept. im not downplaying the increase in sales. im saying that it shouldnt come as a surprise. there is now only one format. of course sales will increase. am i the only one who understands the concept? :confused:

no, but the shills are out in force to busy gloating to realize some of the obvious. I was disappointed when I went to BB last night that HD-DVD's where not cheaper yet.

wow not too many logical ppl in this thread... one added vin to ignore list out of own ignorance, lmfao, hypocrisy at its finest.

so now people are buying bd that were waiting for the format war to be over, and for those that previously on had hddvd.

yet the following seems wierd?

2 formats, 1 dies, logically the surviving one would grow?

apparently people in this thread: 2 formats, 1 dies, *gasp* sales have surged zomg, look at the lead now

*slaps forehead*

people with egos continue to grow more populous here at nvnews

assuming you're saying i'm hypocrite just because i added vin to ignore list? how's so? did you actually follow several posts of vin from other threads? its so oblivious that he likes to troll whenever blu-ray is mentioned. i posted the link on blu-ray sale increase to follow up Gregor976's post or anyone else who is curious or interested. i also mentioned about more blu-ray players coming and might see lower price on those in the near future. i wasn't trying to gloat or anything. :confused:

i didn't understand why people should get fussed up with that, it's annoying.

1. i dont troll. i look for the sony fanboys that constantly talk about how superior everything sony is and i throw facts in their faces.

2. im glad you added me to the ignore list. now i can trash the hell out of you and cant say anything cause you dont even know it's there.

ignoring someone out of ignorance is hypocrisy, plain and simple. i read through his posts, he was pointing out that sales are the way they are because of what has occurred. up until CES'08 there had been little shifts in the hd markets, bd remaining steadily at ~60-65% of the market. major studio support backs one format and then he gets called an idiot for pointing out why that format is obviously selling better/adoption rate? again, no logic there at all.

[Peoples-Agent]

I'm with Vin on this one, it's simple common sense.

If Warner had gone the other way and it had been in HD DVDs favour, in light of the lower cost of standalones the uptake would have been even greater than it has now been with Blu-Ray, again... common sense.

Albeit, i'm a HD DVD supporter, I am now glad I can finally get stuck into releases.

I just wish alot of the earlier BD weren't so scrappy as alot of collectable good titles have been wasted.

And I didn't know about that? Duh, I do and it wasn't about that. Doesn't matter. I'm getting attacked over my opinions and being called hypocrite by hd dvd fanboys aren't worth it.

Cheers.

then why troll on my posts? all my posts' not all about sony. sony is overpriced and not always best, so can't you quit assuming i'm sony fanboy? i have ps3 just becase i like games. i know a lot of people are pissed because hd dvd lost but thats fact. i'm trying to tell people that players' price will drop (not sony of course) in the near future. no one is being forced to get player now.

i removed you from ignore list, hoping we can get along.

I just bought a nice Sony Bravia panel, it's a great TV... but Blu-Ray is a fooking joke in all honesty. Sure I will try and get involved, but it leaves a sour taste... SD DVD growth was a liberation, this BS is a joke.

£300 .... ($580 for you American folk!) is alot of cash to cough up for a system that delivers far less than a £120 HD DVD player.

The only players that look to drop in price are the crappy profile 1.0 ones, the rest are rediculous.

Not sure about the rest of the world, but VHS > DVD was a far more linear and consumer friendly transition in the end and did actually offer more value over the likes of VideoCD.
