HD DVD’s booth at CES was a sad, sad sight to see. You could tell by the demeanor of everyone working the booth. They knew. Blu-ray’s booth was less than 20 yards away and they were rocking out and people were milling around trying to watch demos, take pictures with Captain Jack Sparrow and the Spartans from 300. Don’t get me wrong, I’m in HD DVD’s camp, but how are they going to recover from Warner Bros. departure?
The Financial Times is reporting that Paramount has a purported clause in their contract that allows them to switch sides in the event Warner Bros. backs out of HD DVD. Why the two studios have anything to do with each other is beyond me, but that’s what ‘people familiar with the situation’ are claiming. Biggs says it’s not over because Samsung is still producing dual format players and apparently they have more say in the situation then one is to believe, but we’ll wait and see what Paramount does.
No man I’m a hardcore HD DVD supporter. This is just weird to me because everyone I know that owns a high-def DVD player is HD DVD. I’m sorry but the numbers being released about the blu-ray players are bullshit I’d be willing to be atleast 25-40% of the numbers are PS3 owners, which doesn’t count in my opinion. I’ll be pissed if paramount leaves.
Bad news for this format :)) I like SSD :) jeje BlueRay and HD DVD i dislike this :)
That is a big blow and considering Paramount may switch… the war its near its end. It was about time…
Eat a dick Mr. Ha…..HA!
