Paramount stalemates HD format war

Monday, August 20, 2007

I’m going to let the AP sum up the news cause I’m lazy today:

“Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. will offer next-generation DVDs in the HD DVD format and drop support for Blu-ray, further complicating the race between the competing technologies… With Paramount dropping Blu-ray support, Time Warner Inc.’s Warner Bros. remains the only major studio releasing movies in both formats.”

Can someone say stalemate? Oh, and my PS3 just lost some value (it doubles as a Blu-ray player).

Blu-ray vs. HD DVD is the scam of the year? »
