Why would Sony pay them out after HD DVD had lost? Of course they were going to swap.

sorry but that sounds like a silly comment from an HD-DVD fan - what else were Paramount going to do ? Refuse to release High Definition discs altogether ? you don't buy distributors out when there is only one product left to distribute.
and remember it was HD-DVD who outbid and bought out Payamount last august to go HD-DVD exclusive.

For all the recent questions concerning a certain toPic, suffice to say that when money has changed hands and was in the pipeline to change hands at regular intervals, it takes a little while for lawyers to sort out who it belongs to now, "I want my money back", "I aint giving you no money back", etc.

So when can we see Transformers out on Blu-ray?

If Paramount is the last studio to switch, then did I miss Universal going Blue-Ray? When did this happen?

I own both and had no preference; I have no preference because it will all be replaced with something else.

I'm certainly not going to operate under the assumption that the winner of this squirmish is going be king of formats for generations to come.

Hell, my son is still confused as to what a VHS is. So far as he knows, it's the box under the HD Dvd player (next to the PS3) that a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich would fit nicely in to.

I say we stop making "news reports" on this DVD stuff... All they do is piss people off and get others banned for retarded reasons :P

Like that one guy who got banned like 50 times and he still kept on coming back lmao

"If ya lookin' to fight the good fight, ya found one right here."

I'll just wait for the next format and get a Playstation 4 ;)

Well it was inevitable, wasn't much choice left.

I do have a question and I'm not trying to be rude or mean, But where's that guy named Hughjars?
I haven't seen a post from him on the last few of these articles.

Peace

My daughter refers to the VHS tapes as "Rectangle DVD's." She is too young to know that VHS was ever a viable format.
