I think all of these things, along with the recent Fox announcement as well as ones to come, remain reasons to keep smiling...we're just a little more humble now.

It's no coincidence that 2 weeks ago the Target I go to had 2 rows of BD and 2 rows of HDDVD, and today they've got 4 rows of BD and still only 2 rows of HDDVD.
I have to admit I was concerned when Paramount went to the dark side but as I sat and thought about it I remembered the great things that have happened for BD in the past month and the great things that are in the pipe.
I will not buy into the dark side. I have so much media available to me here. So much that I have 10 movies on preorder BEFORE the Holiday season starts, plus just ordered a 2nd Blu Ray machine (ps3) to go with my Sammy 1200. What I am saying is I don't have enough time in the day to watch all the great movies Blu Ray offers now, so the small offerings of Paramount does not bother me ! Keep the faith. Good things are happening and I have a feeling a few great things are coming this way in a few weeks !
Enjoy !
