Paramount gives Blu Ray the big PUNT
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/2007-08-20-paramount-blu-ray_N.htm
Today came an announcement that has surprised EVERYONE.
Paramount, previously a format neutral studio for high definition, is now going forward to exclusively supporting ONLY HD DVD. This also includes Dreamworks, Dreamworks animation, MTV and other subsidiaries.
After checking out various high definition forums on the net today, it is apparent that one thing is happening. Blu Ray fan boys heads are exploding left and right at an alarming rate. Even Bill Hunt of The Digitalbits has gone stark raving mad over this latest blow to Blu Ray.
Now while I admite I am in love with HD DVD, I will eventually support Blu Ray with the use of a combo player, unless there is the unlikely event that Fox, MGM and others support HD DVD. Until then, I will hold my breath.
