Paramount Drops Blu-ray Support; Does Not Include Spielberg Movies
Despite selling more movies on the Blu-ray format, Paramount has announced today that they will begin supporting HD DVD exclusively. This move, rumored to be driven by a $150M exclusivity deal with the HD DVD group, comes after Paramount began favoring Blu-ray releases with higher quality video encodings and more HD features. The deal covers all of Paramount's properties excluding those directed by Steven Spielberg.
The move will inevitably lengthen a format war which should never have been. Consumers will unfortunately suffer the most, as they will be forced to support a format which is being supported by corporations instead of consumers. No word was given as to how long the exclusivity agreement is for, but rumors indicate through 2008.
High definition enthusiasts can now only hope that a DVD-A/SACD situation hasn't been initiated by this decision.

Από ότι φαίνεται έχουμε δρόμο ακόμα.... :banghead::banghead::banghead: Δεν παλεύονται οι εταιρίες!!
Οι μόνοι χαμένοι είναι οι καταναλωτές απ αυτό... Θα δω εγώ τώρα Transformers?! :banghead::banghead::banghead:
Θα τα πούμε αργότερα Paramount !!:rant:
