REUTERS - WB to Announce Blu Only

I believe that one day downloading a HD movie will be viable but not until the internet is at least at 10mb speed. Until then, BD will be the way!
 
Hey, lay off Vurbano. I am sure he is hurting like alot of other staunch HD-DVD supporters. He knows that this is the first nail in HD-DVD's coffin. Why rub it in. If it were an announcement of Warner going HD-DVD I am sure I would be shocked and feeling a little smacked right now. So give Vurbano some space -- he'll be back with the first FUD saying Disney will be going purple -- you just wait and see.
I see no real change from the day before Paramount went to HD DVD only.
 
Wow, you pull out an article from August 2006!!!! Man, you are really hurting!! The laser problem was over in April 2007 -- where have you been?

hey now, The point was that Sony makes the blue ray lasers, Not that they were still having production problems.

Other companies build players but Sony supplies them their lasers..

Quit twisting. I already congratulated on the victory. And then made a educated guess to how this will effect the market.

STFU dude.
 
OK- Just for grins and giggles, what are your thought processes behind this?

Have you drunk the M$ kool-aid?
What moron wants to download a movie for a fee and have it disappear after a few days? I own my BD's and HD DVD's and can play them forever. Downloading is an asinine idea and there is no "right" price for something I will not own.
 
Few new insider tidbits, do with them what you will:

"WB will continue to release HD DVDs but not in any sort of timely fashion...

In May WB will no longer be shipping any HD DVDs to their distributors.

From March, any HD DVD that has sold out will not be be replicated again. So if anyone wants to pick up a few of these 'collectors items' get them now!
"


" It's not my place to comment on these matters.

Sorry
." In regards to Universal going neutral



"As for Paramount, forget about them for a while, they'll be back eventually..."


I think the fact that he dodged the Uni question but answered the Para question means its in the works.

Maybe then Vurbano will believe its over :cool:


Who'd want an HDDVD player after 1st quarter, I have no fracking idea.
 
I am trying to figure out if Isaah Thomas or Vurbano is in a greater state of denial.

It's Isaah -- Vurbano will still think HD-DVD can win until he goes looking for a new HD-DVD title in May. Then he will come around -- it will be June before Isaah comes around!:D

Other companies make the blue laser diode:

Nichia actually supplies the laser diodes to other companies, Sony produces its own supply crossed licensed with Nichia:

On another note the WSJ reports that Paramount may be able to wiggle out of its HD-DVD deal sooner than expected:

Provisions in the HD DVD's arrangement with Paramount could allow the studio to go back to releasing movies on Blu-ray as early as the end of the year, people familiar with the matter say.

Also in the article on the WB decision:
Warner's move could put pressure on Universal Pictures to start releasing DVDs in Blu-ray in addition to, or instead of, HD DVD.

Universal's exclusiveness agreement is supposed to be up now.
