Which HD DVD studio would you rather switch to first? - Blu-ray Forum

Lord_Stewie · 02-09-2008, 01:41 PM

Hey,

I was just wondering being a BD exclusive member. Which exclusive HDDVD studio would you rather switch to BD first? And why?

I would rather see Paramount/DW switch first. Because the big releases they will have for 2008 like Iron Man and Indiana Jones.

dadkins · 02-09-2008, 01:50 PM

Para/Dreamworks.

GregBlu5 · 02-09-2008, 01:52 PM

That's a good argument, indeed. However, I do like the Bourne movies, too, and would enjoy having all three in Blu.

Fortunately, whichever studio goes Blu first, the other will likely follow very quickly. With Warner, it signalled that the war was virtually over. With one of the other two going Blu (even neutral for a short time), the other isn't going to be the last to hold out for long.

Theres more Uni films l like but I'd take either with NO complainant

Blu Titan · 02-09-2008, 02:16 PM

Universal has a lot more films that I want. Not even close.

I can see your point there definately, Universal have a huge back catalogue of titles as well as Hellboy 2 coming out but short term there's no doubt that with Indy 4, Star Trek and Iron Man I've got to say Paramount for the year ahead.

Blu As Hell · 02-09-2008, 03:44 PM

Paramount/Dreamworks. I'm a Trekkie from the rip and I would love to own the movies on Blu-Ray.

"COOOBRAAA!!!"

Blu-Style · 02-09-2008, 03:52 PM

If one studio is switching, the other will follow pretty soon.

But in case...
I would say Universal... then you have a biiiiiiiiiiig cat in the bag...

Tizflizz · 02-09-2008, 05:22 PM

para/dreamworks ........ Transformers

I would imagine that if one decided to switch or go neutral the other would follow pretty quick as well.

We would get a lot more titles from Universal than we would from Paramount. Outside of day and date titles Paramount just hasn't released a lot on either Blu-ray or HD DVD. Universal likes dumping random catalog titles which would make for better overall selection.

Midnightsailor · 02-09-2008, 11:50 PM

Paraversal. Haha. Actually between the two, I would have to choose Paramount.

Metalheadisme · 02-09-2008, 11:51 PM

Universal- I want Army of Darkness damnit!

mightypen · 02-09-2008, 11:59 PM

Universal: tv programs

Alloye · 02-10-2008, 01:47 AM

Doesn't matter. Either defection would spell the end of HD DVD and we'd get both sooner rather than later.

On the other hand, if I absolutely had to pick, I'd rather have Paramount/Dreamworks come over first. I'd love to have Bourne, Star Trek, and Spielberg titles on Blu-ray.

scragham · 02-10-2008, 01:58 AM

either would be great, but para has the edge. TF and ironman.

Slackr89 · 02-10-2008, 05:22 AM

I'd rather have Universal. Paramount can kiss my @$$

whoelse · 02-10-2008, 10:46 AM

Paramount!

I really want Transformers too.

razz · 02-10-2008, 11:04 AM

Paramount.

Grisle · 02-10-2008, 11:07 AM

Well Indy 4 will probably be on BD...I'd have to say Universal for now.

Zyclone · 02-10-2008, 12:01 PM

Uni mainly because they have a libary that interests me more then paramounts.
