Quote:Due to increasing pricing parity between Blu-ray and HD DVD hardware, research firm Understanding and Solutions believes there could be format war clarity in BD’s favor in 2008.

Quote:It’s widely understood that Paramount was influenced to become HD DVD exclusive because of millions of dollars in incentives from Toshiba.

Quote:Blu-ray benefits from stronger Hollywood studio support and represents a greater proportion of high-definition disc production volumes and disc sales.

Same 'ol, same 'ol.

For balance, read the excellent comment by Bob Black linked to the article.

who cares if paramount took the money?..its called business....
you think that fox / di$ney etc didnt have any financial incentives to go blu?

paramount wrere made an offer which was just too good to ignore, and if the bda cant match that then they deserve to lose
you are blatantly ignoring the growing momentum that hd dvd has...try looking at all the figures and graphs over the last year and it plainly shows hd dvd gaining ground and bd's ratio shrinking

besides.....bda keeps claiming that hd dvd will be dead in 18 months....if i remember rightly they have said this at least twice now only to be proved wrong
