...does that create a sense of competition between them to release more of their titles faster or better titles than than the "other guy?"

Blu-Beard · 02-20-2008, 02:22 AM

yes

turboedguy · 02-20-2008, 02:23 AM

hope so.

I want Star Wars.

The Don · 02-20-2008, 02:26 AM

Paramount isn't Blu yet

maybe but i think that it will take universal a few months anyhow to get their head in the game. I think Paramount is going to beat them to the punch because they have experience releasing BDs and UNI doesnt

ezcobar411 · 02-20-2008, 02:27 AM

I would assume so. They need to battle for shares of the HDM market

Yes it does, which is why the idea, floated elsewhere, that having a format war was good for competition is nuts.

Rotel1026 · 02-20-2008, 03:11 AM

Why would it? There's no real sense of competition in the DVD market. Also, look at how studios release their movies for theatrical runs as well. It benefits everyone to avoid other studios big releases because if everyone releases their movies all at once, a couple of them are bound to get lost in the shuffle. So no, I don't think there's anything to be gained by trying to one up each other with their releases.

Blu Titan · 02-20-2008, 03:13 AM

We are still waiting on Paramount. Hopefully they will have an annoucment very soon. Titles to be released included.

They should try to one up each other on quality

crystalline blu · 02-20-2008, 03:29 AM

I hope that these studios do not try to rush their products. I would like to see quality releases.

as long as i get quality releases i dont care much for quantity. take your time with the releases and wow me

Ferris · 02-20-2008, 01:57 PM

Yes, they will compete again. However, they will do so for the greater good of themselves, and hopefully, the technology. Don't look for consumers to get as much out of this as the studios.

Also, unless I missed Paramount's announcement, not all studios are Blu yet.

TheTenth · 02-20-2008, 02:10 PM

didn't Paramount sign something with Microcrap for HD downloads? hopefully they'll die in one year and be forgotten as a movie studio

sssick · 02-20-2008, 02:19 PM

I still haven't seen a press release direct from Universal or Paramount that they are releasing Blu-ray. I just went on Universal's website and HD-DVD is still plastered all over it, with no mention of Blu-ray.

Perhaps, but I'm more of a "quality not quantity" kind of guy (looks sharply at Universal).
