Viacom's Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks Animation SKG will release their next-generation DVD titles exclusively on HD DVD ahead of what they say could be the biggest holiday season ever for DVDs.

BUT, Universal may go blu-ray?

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment and MGM revealed an interesting Blu-ray Disc release strategy. The strategy calls for 29 new release and "must-have" catalog titles that runs through the end of the 2007.

i dont see it realy makeing a diference the HD movie market so soo dam small at the moment any way, and really are people going to get a HD-dvd player for shrek, i still think that blu ray or HD dvd arnt going to be major players in the market untill next year or even 2009.

exciting for HD-DVD, finally some decent exclusives. Scary for BD. This might make it interesting!

doesn't surprise me. there are other companies like universal that are exclusive to hd-dvd. i have both blu-ray and hd-dvd but prefer to purchase the hd-dvds as they have more exclusive features like 300. either way blu-ray or hd-dvd there is no going back to standard dvd for me.

I read that as part of the deal all speiberg movies were to be both formats still,
which means transformers would be both

I think part of the deal was that Steven Spielberg movies will not be exclusive, and Spielberg had a part in Transformers.

I am for Blu Ray . I have not even seen one (Apart the 360 HD DVD Player) advertised in a brochure or on TV etc. Its all been Blu Ray Players. Same goes with the movies, I have only ever seen HD DVD Movies advertised on a EZYDVD Brochure. Seen Blu Ray on Big W, Target, EZYDVD & JB HiFi.

Lawl, they're both pretty useless to me... I mean, I don't watch movies, and I already have the DVD's of all the TV shows I watch... so yeah...

Standinside, I'm a Pumpkins fan as well... just thought I'd get that out there.

remember betamax lost to vhs because vhs was cheaper to manufacture and most studios opted to go with that. the same thing is happening again as both blu-ray and hd-dvd have great video and audio capabilities but its cheaper to manufacture hd-dvds.

longarms says:

but more studios suport blu ray. and there are a LOT more blu ray players out there than HD dvd, maby you have heard of a little device called the ps3.

Vinzor says:

360 and wii both support hd dvd (if i'm correct? )
which are selling more than the ps3

soooo, that could mean that hd dvd is winning the war, but i prefer blu-ray because of the quality and because i have a ps3

c'mon! blu-ray IS the future! that's already here~
