I don't know, but I predict all hd-dvd sites will be re-directed to here:

I would guess Circuit City would be next, maybe next week. And if the Hollywood Reporter is correct, Toshiba drops HD-DVD in a couple of weeks and then Paramount and Universal follow.

BStecke · 02-15-2008, 04:38 PM

I would say Paramount will be next . . . I think Toshiba will give out before Universal.

Is Circuit City really even relevant anymore? They're even more overpriced than Best Buy and they always appear to be going out of business.

Papi4baby · 02-15-2008, 04:39 PM

Paramount, im sure they are pressing disc as we type right, now, if not the Universal.

tntkain · 02-15-2008, 04:43 PM

Im gonna say Circuit jerk-it is next as if what they say even matters, but they will need to go against their already red roots and flip to the Blu side!

w_tanoto · 02-15-2008, 05:05 PM

other: toshiba drops HD DVD on 7 March 2008, followed soon after by Para and Uni

Blu_Ray_UK2007 · 02-15-2008, 05:22 PM

Not sure, but I hope it involves para/uni.

w_tanoto · 02-15-2008, 05:23 PM

there are still 7 hours of office hours for this week. who knows if something happens in a few minutes...

this announcement surely speeding the death of HD DVD

CptGreedle · 02-15-2008, 05:25 PM

I think Toshiba will go Blu, followed the same day by Paramount and Universal.

whoelse · 02-15-2008, 08:18 PM

I really wish i added the Toshiba option now

AlexCruz · 02-15-2008, 08:22 PM

I have this gut feeling that Paramount has been secretly producing Blu-ray, or at least opening all their old stock out, because their titles are becoming less scarce. I hope Amazon goes next, because that's where the low prices are, and all the DUD fanboys will have to go buy from the stores and pay high prices.

katharsis · 02-15-2008, 08:24 PM

Paramount is definitely going to be next!
I think they will follow Warner, by still releasing announced titles on HD DVD then slowly stopping to fully concentrate on blu.

Goodguy818 · 02-15-2008, 08:26 PM

Im hoping for paramount to be next and eat their words.
