Universal Studios might decide to stay exclusive to the HD-DVD format

The comments that the President of Universal Studios Home Entertainment made today might mean they will continue to stay exclusive for years to HD-DVD especially if in late 2008 several name brand dual format players hit the market for under $500. The dominos have started to fall who is next to announce a combo player?

“The announcement was immediately hailed by Craig Kornblau, president of Universal Studios Home Entertainment and a key Hollywood supporter of the HD DVD format. The fact that Samsung, which for so long has been an exclusive Blu-ray supporter, is now going the dual-format route “is an acknowledgement of the tremendous value that HD DVD brings to the early adopter of high-definition packaged media,” he said.”
