Well The Dark Knight will now be BD exclusive which I would much rather have over Transformers. We lost Transformers which sucked whne it happened, but I could care less anymore. The WB going exclusive is about as big of a win as it is a loss for them. I think that last neutral studio had a lot of power. One thing about the WB contract is they said that they'll continue to provide product if a big retailer demands it...so does HD-DVD still get new copies of Batman Begins, and The Matrix, etc.? I agree that Paramount isn't going to be kicking themselves because that $150 million put them in a great spot anyway. Will they be embarassed if they have to come back...maybe a little, but they got a great deal out of it.
