Blockbuster Online emailed me about Paramount (a fun read)

A little late on BOG, but good riddance. The interesting part is the "Add HD-DVD to Queue". I wasn't aware they're supporting HD-DVD, and I just checked I don't see HD-DVD as a Category where you can select Blu. Here's the email:

----------------------

Paramount Pictures recently announced that it will no longer support the Blu-ray Disc™ format. We regret that due to this announcement, we must remove the following movie(s) from your Queue:

The online store and the original 250 stores where they tried out both formats still carry HD DVD.

I have over 100 Bluray titles set to rent in my Blockbuster online queue, and out of over 100 movies, Blockbuster only found one "very lame" paramount movie that I had selected to rent on bluray, it goes to show you how poor Paramount's catalog really is....

Well be lucky they took it off, Cages hair is enough to make me not watch that crap fest.

That's funny because I've been expecting a similar message from them, but it has yet to arrive.

It prob doesnt even have audio on it anyways.
