Seeing as how all the other movie studios that were exclusive to HDDVD at some point have been able to get out of whatever contract they had I’m thinkin paramount probably has some clause that will allow them to opt out of the contract somehow.

So….i got a question

Ive always been a blu-ray supporter….got a ps3 over a year ago i think.

My question is now that HD-DVD is all but completely dead will movies previously released of only HD-DVD (such as transformers) be immeadiately released on blu-rau or will paramont still have to honor their one year bribe?

Its funny reading all these posts about how sony is dumb and blu-ray is a POS media format but now that 90% of the major movie studios are backing blu-ray and Toshiba isnt even going to be making any HDDVD players its time to eat some crow. LOL. I mean the biggest backer of HDDVD now is the porn industry

N00b, There is a difference in quality, Blu-Ray has a faster frame rate meaning cripper and smoother images so STFU

Wouldn’t having a higher ability to hold information have an advantage in the long run, considering that all we are doing is making longer, more technical, films that will require more room to add extras on to the discs? It just doesn’t make any sense to take films and only make them available on one format. That’s like putting out a music album on cassette tape, but not on CD, or even more only allowing for a song or album to come out as an mp3, instead of any of the multiple music formats that can be used in this world(AIFF, AAC, WAV). What ever. It is just stupid. In the long run someone will hate their decision, but for now all of us with Bluray are stuck buying films from Asia and outside the American market. If Paramount thinks that peopl are not going to find a way to get their fix of their films, they are wrong. The only thing they are going to lose is the ability to capitalize on it!

You are all a bunch of hot-heads who dont know the facts, so you post an obnoxiously long rant about the doom-and-gloom of HD-DVD. They’re never going to make a choice on formats. Contrary to popular beliefe, this is not like betemax vs VHS. Those were new technologies. This HiDef war is the same technology (aside from a couple extra gigs of space) on both sides. It’s all about $$$$$! Thats it. There is no other factor than that. Paramount dropped Blu-ray just in time for Transformers because they were offered $150 MILLION dollars and they wet their pants. (In the corporate world $150 big ones now are better than $200 big ones later…sad isnt it?)

Both formats will be around for a LONG time and eventually all movies will be available on both formats or, like LG (God bless them) everyone will manufacture dual format disc players and everything will go back to normal. Infact, Im willing to bet that a lot of you out there couldn’t tell the difference between standard and high-def anyway, without a side-by-side comparison…it’s OK, you can admit it…you’re only caught up in the hype. You are reading some of these post and thinking “What the hell does that mean!?!” Isn’t America Great?!!!

By the way….Blu-ray is the best : )

Yeah- I totally would have bought a blu-ray of Transformers. That’s one of the few movies that I think are worth picking up to watch again and again on my Flat Panel.

You are nothing but a whining bitch! JUST STFU! BLUE RAY IS SHIT SO IS SONY. I do however have a ps3, and I use it for gaming not watching movies… stupid sony, they are too cocky, what if blu ray does fail then you got a gaming system with an over priced POS blu ray player inside, at least microsoft saved people money, and allowed them to choose whether they want hidef or not.

Paramount sold out, it’s crazy! Dont they know how many PS3’s are out there – almost every household had a ps2 it will be the same in a few years for the PS3 – people will happily pay an extra few quid for high def version should it be HDDVD or BRD it could be clawed back, (150mil might not look so good when they have a warehouse full of hddvd that no one wants!)
Blu-Ray is reported to be outselling HDDVD by 2:1 – walk into any video shop, super market or online you will see all other’s have seen that HDDVD is going to be a slower mover, there is always a far better range of blu-ray!
reghardware reports :

“Blu-ray discs outsell HD DVDs almost 3:1 in Europe”
“Blu-ray discs outsell HD DVDs 2:1 in America”

ok the sums….
Transformers HDDVD first week = 190′000 sales
Had it been blu-ray that could have been 570′000 sales
Thats a big difference!

Paramount, hang you head in shame, tell microsoft to stick there money! We’ll all be in the que in the morning for the blu-ray!

why didnt paramount just increase the price of each Transformers on Blu-Ray instead of taking the 150 mil. im sure they would have covered that amount in a few days.

Microsoft paid paramount 150 million dollars for a 1 year hddvd exclusive contract. Microsoft is of many on the board of trustees for hddvd, whereas names like sony, sun micro system, Disney, fox, and apple, are on the board of trustees for blue ray. Although it hasn’t been confirmed its also suspected that Microsoft paid Michael Bay off because he was unhappy with the decision to make transformers exclusive, and threatened to never work with paramount again. On a side not i find it funny that this forum’s spell checker corrects an uncapitalized microsoft, but not sony. Apple and Fox are both proper nouns as well as common nouns, so its understandable not to correct them, but the spell checker doesn’t even recognize Sony as a word, much less give the correct capitalization of it.

This is a complete joke!! Transformers HD-DVD can’t be transfered to Blu-ray due to the frame rate issue. In fact, scenarist won’t even import the ves file. I really wish people wouldn’t post unless they have tried it. Yet another wasted link from google!!
