This is why Paramount went HD-DVD exclusive and it's indefinite.

PC World - Paramount's CTO on Why His Studio Is Dumping Blu-ray

And of course this from Bill's writtings today:

Here's another interesting story I've heard through the grapevine. People at Paramount who were working on the HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc versions of Blades of Glory had actually been planning to do some kind of elaborate interactive feature on both versions... except that they discovered the 30GB HD-DVD disc didn't have enough space to do what they'd wanted to do. So they were planning to include this feature exclusively on the Blu-ray version. Now, of course, that's all changed. But this casts some doubt on comments made by Paramount's chief technology officer, Alan Bell, in the media since yesterday, to the effect that the studio considered HD-DVD the superior format from a technical standpoint. Apparently someone didn't tell that to the guys actually WORKING with these formats at the studio

Spin is spin, and money definately talks in this concern. If not, why not go exclusive without the money incentive?

How is this not spin? Grapevine vs. CTO? Just thought.

Here's some spin... maybe Paramount's BR money incentives ran out, so they dropped them.
