Aug. 20th-21st, 2007, biggest battle of the format war!!!

[POTC123]

Over the last 24 hours we have seen the largest and most public, development of the Format War since its inception last June.

It began around noon yesterday with the announcement of Paramount/Dreamworks flip to only support HD-DVD. This came as a shock and blow to everyone, especially the supporters of Blu-ray. It also was weird due to Blu-ray sales out numbering HD-DVD 2 to 1, and the iminent end of the war looking promising for a blu-ray victory.

Stephen Spielberg was very upset by this and said he will not allow his films to be released on HD-DVD, and threatened to sell Dreamworks to another company.

So you think that would be the end, NO. Later that night, due probably to P/D annoucement, Fox and MGM stated they were going exclusively blu, and announced nearly 30 new and classic movies in the next 3 months.

Later, the BDA stated that they also found it werid that P/D decided to flip.

It was revealed this morning that Micheal Bay(GOD) has expressed his feelings towards Paramount, saying he doesn't want his movies to be released on a weaker format, and wants the best quality possible, and states he will not direct/write/produce a Transformers 2.

Finally, The NY Times revealed the rumor was true, and Paramount and Dreamworks recieved a 150 million bribe for supporters of HD-DVD to go exclusive.

What new develpoments will we see in the next 24 hours???
